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?

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_TLSIt seems this developer had the short-term memory of a goldfish. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20160131/76a87161/attachment.html>
