If it is a multithreaded application, this can be the issue with

...yes you need to pass "-pthread" to GCC which has the effect of defining
_REENTRANT and linking against libpthread.

This is documented as required on some platforms but strangely not for x86 I
don't know if this is a long standing oversight or if it really isn't
needed.
