I've found similar problems. I looked at the test suite logs and got
the libtool command that linked a program which crashed.
Then I tried compiling it by hand and gradually removed options until
I found what caused the problem. It isn't -lpthread for me though.
If I link with `-lgcc_s -lc', then it works. If I link with just
`-lc' (and the implicit -lgcc_s later on) then it fails.
This explains why I see the failure with exception handling. In the
failing case we're picking up the wrong exception handling routines.
I think this is going to be confusing to anybody who links with `-lc'
on Linux. I know that isn't common practice, but some people do it.
I'm not yet sure what the fix is for Java. I haven't yet looked for
where the `-lc' in the link is coming from.
