I don't know why the ia64 list would be appropriate for ia32 stuff, even if 
there is a similar problem with thread stacks on both linux-ia32 and 
linux-ia64.

Was this a binary version of glibc?  Was it built for redhat?

Possibly so, if you have a recent version, and sufficient instructions.  I'd 
certainly like to know about this. 
Unfortunately, I believe that OpenMP with the Intel compiler remains in a 
developmental state, insufficient to be advertised as a supported feature.
