The lack of emulated TLS on 10.6 is the consequence of a political choice, though. GCC 4.3 was released long before Snow Leopard, but users are stuck with 4.2.1 because of the license.

Complain to them, not to the QEMU project. Apple's not providing it on 10.6.x because 10.6.x is obsolete as far as Apple is concerned. Supported versions of OSX use clang, which has support for __thread. Missing __thread support is an "old platform" thing, not a political GPL thing. -- PMM
