Right, that's "multilib".

Isn't this already covered by glibc's support for
/lib/$processor_feature? On my Fedora 14 x86_64 system I have
/lib/i686/nosegneg for example, and a simple "strace true" shows us
trying to find a variant of libc that is built for TLS (and not
finding it):
$ strace true
execve("/bin/true", ["true"], [/* 54 vars */]) = 0
brk(0) = 0xe59000
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0x7f54472b0000
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/src/build/jhbuild/lib64/tls/x86_64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
