Hmm, I have been searching on the web and found one interesting page in French:

        http://linuxfr.org/~houplaboom/7900.html

Please check whether you have a directory

        /usr/lib/tls

If so, then move it to a safe place

        su -
        mv /usr/lib/tls /usr/lib/tls.bak

and try again. This might work.

Other references to this problem:

         http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=10968

I still don't understand whether something is wrong on the machine
on which I build the binaries or on machines running certain
new distributions. Someone can help?

I do not know, if this is help, but I think I know the problem exactly.  With the change of kernels a new thread model (nptl) was used, which has made its way into glibc.

I suppose you are compiling on a kernel 2.4 system with an old glibc. For reasons which I do not fully understand this made statically linked programms incompatible.

cf.

http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-discuss/2003-December/004962.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_POSIX_Thread_Library

I see to alternatives either have a statically link version for the new kernel ( with nptl ) or do not  statically with  libc. But what puzzles me, is that the problem should have occured 3 years ago for the first time.

Yours,

Ingolf

 

Best wishes, Joris
