We dropped support for Irix in 2.3.  We dropped support for Irix threads 
in 3.2.  All our supported platforms have Thread Local Storage (TLS) 
support.  Maybe we can drop our 250-line portable TLS library from 
Python/thread.c?


//arry/

p.s. Derpy code in Python/thread_nt.h.  It literally looks like this:

    /* use native Windows TLS functions */
    #define Py_HAVE_NATIVE_TLS

    #ifdef Py_HAVE_NATIVE_TLS

It seems this developer had the short-term memory of a goldfish.
