Please excuse for the noise, the problem has been solved. To avoid that others fall into the 
trap here is the reason:

Long, long time ago I tested an application, that needed an pthread-semaphore library. This 
library installed a file named "/usr/local/lib/libpthread.so.20". You know what then happened.

The lesson I learned: 
If you have trouble with the linker use always "ld -Vt" to see whats going on really.
