Can you please try kernel-2.4.22-1.2040.nptl from RHN?  There have
been several fixes to exec-shield there.  I know turning off exec-shield
didn't fix it, but it's still possible that it is the culprit.

Is it linking against any object files that you neither recompiled
yourself nor obtained as an integral part of Severn?  (I.e. did 
you get any of those "too many libraries" in object form?)
