I have tracked this down to the Boehm-GC trying to find the 
pthread_create() function via dlvsym() which of course does not return
a pointer to pthread_create() if libpthread is linked statically - and
makes Boehm-GC crash.

A more detailed description with a workaround has been filed as a bug
report:

Best regards and many thanks for your help,
Tom
