Yep. I just installed Python from the tarball and after reconfiguring
INN -pthread went away. It seems to have been replaced by the
inclusion of -lc_r (which is an effect -pthread has according to the
gcc man page). Including that library in this manner didn't cause the
segfaults I was having before. Weird.
