Should the C11 keyword _Thread_local (renamed to the more convenient thread_local with the inclusion of <threads.h>) be used instead? The egg compiles and works with that change.

You can safely ignore the macro. It was once added as a preparatory measure
for (possible) use of thread-local storage, but this was never followed up.
