I just recompiled my kernel in order to make use of all my RAM. This is the only change I made. Trying to launch Kopete, yields: kopete: tpp.c:63: __pthread_tpp_change_priority: Assertion `new_prio == -1 || (new_prio >= __sched_fifo_min_prio && new_prio <= __sched_fifo_max_prio)' failed. Probabily a bug upstream. I'll try recompiling glibc without nptl support.
no real information here ... you need to post things like: - `emerge --info` - what version of kopete you're using - build a debug version of kopete and run it through gdb - your kernel .config rebuilding glibc without nptl support is not a useful test
Ok, sorry. Kopete is v3.5.6. I'm attaching emerge --info and .config. I'm building the debug version, it'll take some minutes.

Running kopete under gdb doesn't yield much information. It just prints some (seemingly) unrelated info and then crashes. Even with the crash handler disabled, kopete just quits gracefully and I'm left without a backtrace ("No stack.") Can anyone help me with this? Would it be useful to recompile kdelibs with the debug flag?

Thanks for the link, it was somehow helpful and I understood some things about the debugging process which weren't clear before. I applied the suggestions in the howto to both glibc and kopete but I still get the message "Program exited normally." from gdb. I tried to place a breakpoint on __pthread_tpp_change_priority, to no avail: "Function "__pthread_tpp_change_priority" not defined. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])" I say "yes", but the break just doesn't happen. I compiled both packages with the debug USE flag, nostrip FEATURE, "-g -ggdb" CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Then I run "gdb --args kopete --nocrashhandler". Could you give me some more specific suggestions? It looks like I'm missing something about how gdb works. I'm attaching gdb output.
