It's a bit of a shot in the dark, but I'd try reversing this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=0c1aa20fb87b796d904f4d89ad12e5a0c483127b

If that doesn't help, you may have to bisect past the introduction of TLS
(mainline 2.6.34) which means you'll need busybox or an old userland.
