Searching the net I found this here: http://buildlogs.pld-linux.org/index.php?log=105639
Which then lead me to this here: http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SOURCES/glusterfs-link_fix.patch

I took this patch and adapted it for 1.3.11 and guess what? It works. So linking against the .la files instead the .so files does help in my situation. At least for the server part. The client part is crashing horribly now but this is sure because of my quick and dirty hack for the patch.

I am using gcc 4.3.1. Maybe the problem is specific to newer editions of gcc? Has any one 1.3.11 compiled with gcc 4.3.1 without problems?
