Yes, it is a known problem.  It isn't likely to work in the short term 
because the libpthread <-> kernel interface is very heavily entangled 
with the host system ABI.

You might be able to get libthr working in its place.  But I'm not sure 
that we have all the system calls wrapped that it needs.  If all else 
fails, use libmap32.conf to point libpthread.so.1 to libc_r.so.5.
