Code built for mingw with -fdata-sections will store each TLS variable
in a comdat section, named .tls$$<varname>. Normal TLS variables are
stored in sections named .tls$ with a trailing dollar, which are
sorted after a starter marker (in a later linked object file) in a
section named ".tls" (with no dollar suffix), before an ending marker
in a section named ".tls$ZZZ".
The mingw comdat section suffix stripping introduced in SVN r363457
broke sorting of such tls sections, ending up sorting the stripped
.tls$$<varname> sections (stripped to ".tls") before the start marker
in the section named ".tls".
We could add exceptions to the section name suffix stripping for
.tls (and .CRT, where suffixes always should be honored), but the
more conservative option is probably the reverse; to only apply the
stripping for the normal sections where sorting shouldn't have any
effect.
