Or are you telling me that if my glibc source has IFDEF/IFNDEF for NO_TLS_DIRECT_SEG_REFS, it should be XEN ready without any further patching? - meaning NO NEED for the patch from the wiki - that I'm probably about to break something in a very bad way if I apply that patch.

Yes, this is what he means. The piece of code you pointed at in your previous email (the macro definition) will do the correct, Xen-friendly thing if it is built with NO_TLS_DIRECT_SEG_REFS defined. So define that and don't apply the wiki patch.
