This patch makes /usr/lib/libpthread.so into a ld script, rather than a
symlink.
This is the real trigger. The problem then surfaces when you add too many
-lpthread arguments to ld, it segfaults while reading the ld script file
for the nth time.
( the bad line is "ld -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread .... " )

Am rebuilding glibc with -g now then I will try valgrind.

Thankyou for the reply.

Feeling stupider,
