I cannot reproduce this.  I followed your instructions and it works
just fine for me.  On x86 that is.  You haven't mentioned which
architecture you tried it on but I assume PPC.

There are two things to do:

- you have the binary, just use the debugger.  At least get a backtrace.

- run
	readelf -a <BINARY>

  on both executables and diff the output.


I don't have access to a PPC machine in the moment and therefore
cannot help.
