Its a gcc feature, not something to be fixed ;)
I found in http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.0/changes.html, which describes new  
changes for gcc 4.0.4:
"The compiler now uses the library interface specified by the C++ ABI for  
thread-safe initialization of function-scope static variables."
Apparently the support is already in 4.0.4, earlier it might be there as  
well, but maybe in some unsatisfying way.
