dump_syms and thread-local variables on OS X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It appears that dump_syms doesn't work with thread-local variables on OS X. The 
code below gives no symbols dumped:

======
__thread int v = 0;
int main()
{
  return v;
}  
======

Removing the __thread keyword fixes the issue. Please see the attached project 
for a working sample of the bug.

See here for the discussion regarding the issue:

This happens on OS X for me, but can also be an issue on any other unix-based 
platform. We used dump_syms built by Mozilla guys, not exactly sure about its 
version - it is not easy to build one from scratch.
