No, gdb gives just another error.  I installed the new gdb-4.18 but it produces

(gdb) run
Starting program: /opt2/src/soundtracker-0.1.6/app/soundtracker
 
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
0x403e3434 in sigsuspend (__sigmask=0x0) from /lib/libc.so.5
(gdb) backtrace
#0  0x403e3434 in sigsuspend (__sigmask=0x0) from /lib/libc.so.5

#3  0x805b095 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff674) at main.c:50

an this happens just before gnome_init()


But the next second without gdb the programm aborts
 
Gnome-ERROR **: Could not create per-user Gnome directory <$HOME/.gnome>
 - aborting
