The crash seems to occur in ptmalloc_init(). I haven't been able to figure out why exactly the segfault is occurring: all the register values look OK to me. I think someone with more i386 ski11z needs to investigate it.
Sebastian reports that if he builds a libc.so from libc_pic.a using --whole-archive then the resulting library runs without trouble. So, that would suggest that the problem is in mklibs rather than libc. I'm reassigning this bug accordingly. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
