Well it appears as if libstdc++6 somehow is compiled to require TLS, at
least in the version on your system. That would make it 2.6 kernel
compatible only. I just tried some c++ programs on my arm system, which
is my only 2.4 kernel system at this time, and I had no problems there.
It is running with this version of libstdc++6:
ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3
Of course arm isn't i386 so that doesn't really mean that much.
Which version do you have on your system?
Do you have any environment set related to LD at all?
