Have you tried compiling your program with

gcc -fpic -pthread ...

? I don't have any more insight into this problem, at least as I'm not using 
dbi and as such am not able to reproduce it, but I'd guess that if your 
program doesn't conform to the platform's required thread semantics (which 
are turned on by -fpic -pthread) but uses code that does require this, you're 
bound for trouble.
