"--extra-cflags=-mthreads" is the solution. iothread_locked is unique 
for each thread now. I saw that this is already mentioned in the 
Documentation [1], but why isn't that enabled by default if QEMU 
requires this option on Windows? Without this option, even the latest 
version of gcc doesn't produce working TLS code.

Many thanks for your support!
