Did you also experiment with LD_BIND_NOW?

Given that a working installation still exists, it is likely possible 
to track each lazy symbol being bound on demand in addition to when 
.so files get loaded.  Fortified with this info, there is more 
possibility of the needle being found in the haystack.

In addition to a "threading issue" there might be a duplicate symbol 
issue where the same symbol is offered by multiple libraries and 
access order influences which symbol is actually used.
