I read on the GNU web page (http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Configuring-and-compiling.html) that glibc can be compiled without the TLS support by using the option '--without-tls'. So I did, using the following command:

../configure  --prefix=/home/me/glibc-2.19/build/ --without-tls

and then

make

but apparently such a flag does not have the desired effect given that I can still see the sections .tdata and .tbss in the libc.so.6 object using readelf. Why is this happening? Is that option merely ignored?

The option --without-tls was added here:

2002-02-06  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Add --without-tls option.
...

and removed here:

2011-09-11  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@gmail.com>

        * configure.in: Remove --with-tls option.
...

The manual has not been updated to reflect that.
