The most likely explanation for this is that your
glibc is not using the GS register for pthread local state. You can kludge
around this by building Jikes RVM with RVM_FOR_SINGLE_VIRTUAL_PROCESSOR=1.
However, the resulting Jikes RVM will be slightly less functional:
it can run most simple java programs (eg SPECjvm98), but won't be able
to run eclipse.
