The problem seems to be the use of static libraries (which I firmly believe are completely useless in a modern Linux system). I don't have enabled *any* static nor static-libs flag in my whole system (a full fledged GNOME 3 desktop), and neither in my server. Try reemerging world with USE="-static -static-libs", and then try to emerge thunar also with USE="-static -static-libs".
