88fe385600 Do not restore the register holding the TLS pointer when doing various
usermode context switches (long jumps and ucontext operations). If these
are used across threads, multiple threads can end up with the same TLS base.
Madness will then result.

This makes behavior on PPC match that on x86 systems and on Linux.

54558cdc0e Replace the assembler macro WEAK_ALIAS with a new macro WEAK_REFERENCE which
has the same API as __weak_reference(). Give 'x' in SYS.h a more meaningful
name.

Tested on 32- and 64-bit PowerMac.
