John, perhaps not what you're looking for since you mention you need to
support multiple platforms, but just in case; gcc will automatically emit
code in order to make functional local static initialization thread-safe.
This feature is on by default, but can be explicitly disabled:
-fno-threadsafe-statics Do not emit the extra code to use the routines
specified in the C++ ABI for thread-safe initialization of local statics.
You can use this option to reduce code size slightly in code that doesn't
need to be thread-safe.
