The Mach system uses GCC for multi-threaded programs and they have
not asked for any special extensions.  Therefore, I don't think there
is a problem.

There might be some use for a new feature.  For example, if someone
decides to implement a way of making certain variables' values local
to a single thread, we would need a way to designate those variables.
The least troublesome way is with an attribute.

A pragma is the wrong way to do this, because pragmas are crippled by
their inability to appear in macros.  GCC supports systems-specific
pragmas for compatibility, but that's all.  I want to avoid having
pragmas which users actually find it necessary to use.
