Subject: What x86 TLS relocations can be in debug section?

Intel compiler may generate some x86 TLS relocations, R_386_TLS_LE,
R_386_TLS_GOTIE and R_386_TLS_IE, against debug section. The current
x86 linker will try optimize R_386_TLS_GOTIE and R_386_TLS_IE. But
the optimization won't work in debug section. My questions are

1. Are TLS relocations needed in debug section?
2. If not, how does gdb handle TLS?
