If both HiPE/x86 (or amd64) and threads are enabled, then you need either
an NPTL glibc, or a LinuxThreads glibc that has been configured for a
2.3.99 or later kernel. Otherwise LinuxThreads can't use "floating stacks"
and then it falls back to using %esp in ways that are fundamentally
incompatible with HiPE/x86. The only solution if you have a misconfigured
glibc is to disable either hipe or threads.
