#![feature(thread_local)]

#[no_mangle]
#[thread_local]
pub static FOO: u32 = 3;

Does not compile on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and x86_64-pc-windows-gnu, due to:

error: symbol `FOO` is already defined
 --> lib.rs:5:1
  |
5 | pub static FOO: u32 = 3;
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

error: aborting due to 1 previous error

Found this while working on #134777

Without #[no_mangle] this produces:

@_ZN7example3FOO17h7f7f943ccbcbfc68E = thread_local constant <{ [4 x i8] }> <{ [4 x i8] c"\03\00\00\00" }>, align 4
@"\01__imp__ZN7example3FOO17h7f7f943ccbcbfc68E" = global ptr @_ZN7example3FOO17h7f7f943ccbcbfc68E

; example::FOO{{tls.shim}}
; Function Attrs: nounwind uwtable
define align 4 ptr @"_ZN7example31FOO$u7b$$u7b$tls.shim$u7d$$u7d$17he869035d025446a1E"() unnamed_addr #0 !dbg !6 {
start:
  ret ptr @_ZN7example3FOO17h7f7f943ccbcbfc68E, !dbg !11
}

My guess would be that #[no_mangle] disables mangling not just for _ZN7example3FOO17h7f7f943ccbcbfc68E, but also for \01__imp__ZN7example3FOO17h7f7f943ccbcbfc68E and/or _ZN7example31FOO$u7b$$u7b$tls.shim$u7d$$u7d$17he869035d025446a1E.

The implementation of #[no_mangle] and #[thread_local] are in the realm of the compiler so this isn't a libs issue.
