  Return -1 in the unlikely event that allocation fails when trying to
register a TLS destructor.

This is bug 18524.  As said on the bug, the interface is broken.  We
really need to rework C++ global destructor support so that these
dynamic memory allocations become unnecessary.

The GCC-generated caller code does not check the return value (and could
do anything with it anyway).  You probable need to add __libc_fatal.

Thanks,
Florian

Hmm, so I started with __libc_fatal and changed it to return -1 when I 
saw that the libstdc++ compat implementation did the same.  Now I see 
that there's no check for return value from the call.  I'll update the 
patch with __libc_fatal and resend.

Thanks,
Siddhesh
