[Bug 1375555] Re: global static TLS slot limit breaks the x86 emulator

[Martin Ritter]

This bug also affect eglibc on Ubuntu 14.04 maybe not for the x86
emulator but we do have a software project which suffers from this. Is
there a possibility that the fix might be backported?

Bug description:
  Just create an emulator image for any image newer than 254 and you'll
  notice that the wizard will never show up, always showing a black
  screen.

  # Creating the emulator image
  sudo ubuntu-emulator create --channel=ubuntu-touch/utopic-proposed --arch=i386 test_x86 --revision=XXX (254 is the last known working one)

  If you create an image based on 254 and update only qtmir it's already
  possible to reproduce the issue.
