Usually, I don't reply myself, but just to keep you up-to-date: Talking with the BSD guys via IRC, we figured out, that this is a bug in glibc. It exists in i386-glibc, while it doesn't for arm-glibc. BSD has no on_exit() function in their libc, but they are able to use glibc as well. The BSD folk recommends us to stay at using atexit(), because it conforms to BSD 4.3 and ISO 9899, while on_exit() is very likely a GNU extension. Further, we should not use broken versions of glibc.
