Hmm. That looks like a CPU problem, but hey, it might be that the glibc
version thing is just coincidence, and just changes timings or whatever,
and the problem is in the chipsets.
So at least from that particular report it smells very much
non-kernel-related.
That said, even if it isn't kernel-related, it might be fixable with some
kernel patch that changes the setup of the CPU/chipset. But we'd need VIA
to help with anythign like that.
