Not much help, but executables from last year (Jun 20 2009 with
pathscale comp and Oct 29 2009 GCC) work. Unfortunately as they're
static builds it's not so easy to see what libraries might have
changed.

I tried GCC and PATHSCALE, and downgrading libsci to xt-libsci/10.2.1
with the current source but no joy.
