Yeah, I too have never had issues with running static linked elfs. I am not en expert in the internals of gcc/kernel and defer to the people who know. I notice SecondLife uses dynamic linking now, yet the first cleint I downloaded was statically linked. I would be curious to know why they changed

After some thought, you may be compiling your linux builds with things not supported on all hardware like MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, etc. It my case it may be SSE2 or SSE3, as my processor doesn't support it.

This is making me think its related to your CPU, can you run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and post the result pls. Also "uname -a" might be useful
