Problem found, it was the Nvidia driver. After downgrading to version
275.43, it works fine, even Google Earth.
Quite strange, the Nvidia web site gives you 290.10 (certified) if you go
via the normal "Download Drivers", but if you select "BETA Drivers and
archive", 275.43 is listed on top, as "NVIDIA Recommended".

So perhaps Nvidia is the one to blame?

2.5 years later, I'm trying to install "latest version of Google Earth on
latest RHEL", which is Google Earth google-earth-stable-6.1.0.5001-0.x86_64
on RHEL6. I've also tried older GE versions. Does not work at all.
Initially, I got "bad elf interpreter". After installing tons of 32-bit
packages (yes, the 64-bit package actually contains 32-bit binaries...), I
now get segfault instead. This is both with and without vglrun, both in a
TigerVNC session as well as using X11 forwarding to a real workstation. The
machine has a Nvidia Quadro FX 1800, and I have installed the latest Nvidia
drivers (290.10). Unfortunately I'm not able to test on the physical
console, since it's far away.
Anyone else been able to run GE on RHEL6, with or without VirtualGL? I've
found bug reports such as
http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=1212, but it's still
unresolved.

That is a known issue caused by a bug in the 180 series nVidia drivers.
VirtualGL 2.1.3 is able to work around the bug in most cases, but the
bug is still there, and doing 'vglrun /bin/hostname' reveals it. The
nVidia version of libGL.so.1 is overriding dlopen() and dlsym() for some
reason, and their version of dlsym() is buggy. The act of preloading
librrfaker.so into an executable causes libGL.so.1 to be loaded ahead of
libdl.so.2, which overrides the native version of dlsym() with the buggy
one.
In most cases, you won't need to run 'vglrun /bin/hostname', unless
'/bin/hostname' is in a script that is used to launch a 3D app. In that
case, use the technique described in Ch. 12 of the VirtualGL User's
Guide to save the value of LD_PRELOAD within the script and recall it
right before the 3D application is actually launched.
Thus far, it seems like the workaround in VGL 2.1.3 is working. If you
do encounter a problem with launching an actual 3D app, though, please
post it here. I suspect that any 3D app which tried to use
dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, ...) would encounter problems, but fortunately, we
haven't encountered such an app yet. For those apps, assuming they
exist, a further workaround would be to downgrade to the nVidia 170
series drivers.
See:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=132259
for a description of the bug.
I've also submitted this using the nVidia support E-Mail alias, but they
have completely ignored me.
Thanks - we need to use 180 series (or later) nVidia drivers for a
particular OpenGL bug fix. I've tested the latest 190.18 beta drivers -
and it still has the same issue with VirtualGL
/bin/hostname was in a script that I called with vglrun - so I'll try
and get LD_PRELOAD 'closer' to the final binary.
