Well, it does not depend on whether you give the -thread or -vmthread 
option, because the executable is always linked against libc_r. I
ran into problems with an application that did not use threads at all.

You can try to disable the link against libc_r by modifying O'Caml's
configure script, and then use -vmthread to select the bytecode
implementation. If the program works then, it is very likely that libc_r
is broken.
