I overlooked there was a gpg related bug here. Anyway gpg-agent works with the latest pth now - the abort was due to FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled extra checks in every longjmp call.

There is no bug in glibc/eglibc , but pth relies on some tricks which are not guaranteed to work and indeed they fail starting with glibc2.11 when built with FORTIFY_SOURCE - this is documented in the pth sources and the paper quoted in comments in this bug.
