Description

  1. DOES NOT AFFECT X86_64, THIS IS I386 ONLY ####

How it was found:
pkgsrc security/libpreludedb wouldn't build, crashed during configuration.
Cause of crash was conftest involving libprelude-config, a program built from security/libprelude.

The program is attached. It could be built with the following flags:
cc -o conftest -O2 -g -I/usr/pkg/include -z relro -z now \
-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -lprelude -lgnutls -lgcrypt -lgpg-error conftest.c

Upon execution, it will segfault with libgcrypt which calls libgpg-error.
libgpg-error, when built with Native Language Support, will invoke bindtextdomain() from libintl (from pkgsrc devel/gettext-lib)
It should be bindtextdomain("libgpg-error", "/usr/pkg/share/locale").
That invocation from gpg-error's init function segfaults when locking a thread.

The backtrace is as follows:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem is problem with pthread library given libintl works on x86_64 and probably every platform supported by pkgsrc.
