C99 supports Thread-Local Storage:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.0/gcc/Thread_002dLocal.html

This patch makes use of "__thread" storage class keyword to make the code
pthread-safe without changing the code much:

  • Changed all global variables which can be modified by multiple threads
  • Changed static varible in tac_ntop()
  • Removed unnecessary "static" from local variable in _pam_account()

Hi @kyeongy did you test if it works on older compilers as well?
