This temporary patch fixes a segfault caused by miscompilation by the LLD when generating stubs for initialization of thread local storage. We effectively bypass TLS in the default panic handler so that no segfault is generated and the stack trace is correctly reported back to the user. Note that, this is linked directly to a bigger issue with LLD ziglang/zig#7527 and when resolved, we only need to remove the `comptime` code path introduced with this patch to use the default panic handler that relies on TLS.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
