Sorry, i left out the first more important step.
This was only possible because corecode made a stubs file for our libc:

X.org dropped their XThrStubs. That meant we had a Problem (same as
freebsd 4.x) cause our libc did not have pthread stubs, nor did we
have a -lpthread (only -pthread). Thus threaded programms (gtk based etc.)
had a loader Problem, which could be worked around by
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_r.so

After corecode's stubs were committed it somehow still did not work.
Joerg found a hack in X.org source which patched in X.org's own stubs if
FreeBSDArchitecture was defined ignoring the configuration not todo that.
(I guess they patched that in to continue FreeBSD 4.x support though
i still have to look that up).

Hope that clears it up a bit,
