One more piece of info:

I could not find glibc-static in RH based repos and Nish found it here:

http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/centos-rhel-x86_64/glibc-static-2.12-1.80.el6.x86_64.rpm.html

Just FYI, Nish led me to successful run of latest libhugetlbfs (needed 
libpthread.a from glibc-static installed) and as suggested run

$ make BUILDTYPE=NATIVEONLY
$ make BUILDTYPE=NATIVEONLY check

Should the libhugetlbfs test be adjusted to:

- include latest libhugetlbfs
- run make with BUILDTYPE=NATIVEONLY
- require static libpthread.a

Hi Julius,

Interesting, I admittedly only check on amd64.

Well, this is a different error, at least.

Ah, but that's the dynamic libpthread! I think you need to also have a static 
compatible one for the build to succeed? passing V=3 to the `make` commands may 
help give more info too.

Thanks,
Nish
