Didnt work both way. Same behavior, exactly. This is because of a gettext library bump, I just found out about it (although it happened in march), and I have know good solution to it.

Things might have been slightly better if this was statically linked but unfortunately that's not the case. misc/compat6x should hopefully cover the threading though. When I get some spare time, I'll try to ping my contact at UPEK, but last time I heard from them they were developing a new version but nothing have been released yet, so things aren't looking good. If nothing works out, I'm afraid this port have seen its last days. Fredrik
