We now have a solution (courtesy of Jakub Jelinek from RedHat) rather
than just a workaround:

From the Rawhide branch:

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/lin...86/RedHat/RPMS
glibc-2.3.2-71.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.3.2-71.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.3.2-71.i386.rpm
tzdata-2003a-2.noarch.rpm

1) ASE needs to use /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 to run properly. The
RedHat patch makes us load /lib/libpthread.so.0 instead. On a default
installation of AS 2.1, the library /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 was not
installed.

2) Only glibc < 2.3.2-31 should load /lib/libpthread.so.0 if the warning
is printed.

3) Later glibc 2.3.2-31 and higher, will correctly load the
/lib/i686/libpthread.so.0.

Thanks to everyone that was involved to resolve this issue!

This will be added to the ASE on Linux FAQ shortly

thanks
