But on the other side I also tried to run the SeaMonkeyBrowser
(Mozilla) from recent cvs-sources. Building went fine, but the
beast didn't run. I get only a simple "Aborted" message on the
console and it seems to crash somewhere in the startup code.
So maybe this is somehow related ?

If SeaMonkeyBrowser calls through a trampoline inside of static constructors,
then yes, this is a symptom.

I'm sure that the problem is here.  If you've built code with a compiler
that *does not have* the trampoline patch (which is what I think you've
done with Mozilla) then the startup for 'libstdc++' will fail (amoung
others).

I've built a new EGCS-1.1.1 which can be used with existing code until
the new GLIBC-2.1.xx is ready.  You can get this from:
  ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/pub/gary/redhat/RPMS/ppc
Pick up the 'egcs-1.1-1b*' packages.
