Could you give this (experimental) patch a try? It adds new 
GC_{attach,detach}_thread() functions to the boehm-gc, which register 
threads directly from the invocation API functions instead of attempting 
to intercept pthread_create() at the linker level.
The patch is against gcc-4.1-branch. I'm very interested to know if it 
helps with this problem.
