I'd guess pretty strongly that it has to be something wrong 
with the way you compiled glibc. (I take it, that this is a 
from-scratch system of some sort.) I've never heard of a similar 
problem with the thread tests on Linux.

(You definitely don't need the --with-threads= option)

I guess it's time to dig out the debugger and have some fun :-)
You should be able to attach to the hung test with gdb
and see where it is hung.
