Yes, this is a big problem. While JCW will hate me for this, I guess 
that the safest (and fastest :) choice would be to compile static version.

For one of the reasons you mention above, dqkit (which also includes 
threads and also other things like openssl) never really seemed to work 
correctly when it was dynamic linked.

Although you should also wait for JCW's advice - he managed to get 
tclkit to compile with static libstdc++ and dynamic libc - perhaps it 
will be possible to do some similar tricks in your case. But I'm not 
sure, I'd go for static versions.
