My program crashes in a very strange place in my library code.
This is almost certainly not a gcc problem. There probably isn't much
we can do to help, without duplicating your situation, and it wouldn't
be worthwhile for us to try.
In general, you shouldn't expect any portability of compiled libraries
between two different linux systems. RHL8 and RHES3 are rather
different linux systems, even though they have similar gcc/glibc
versions, and you should not expect compiled libraries to be portable
between them. Generally, statically linked code can be moved between
similar linux systems though, as you have already found.
