Hi,
As an experiment, I thought I would try moving the thread state (what you get from _PyThreadState_GET() ) to TLS.

It works, passing all the tests, and seems sound.
It is a small patch (< 50 lines) and doesn't increase the overall code size.
My branch is GCC/Clang only, so will need a bit of extra code for Windows. It should only need a few more lines; I haven't done it as I don't have a Windows machine to test it on.
What about other compilers?
AFAIK, __thread is a a non-standard name for a C11+ feature. Is there a good way to do this in C99?
