It is really strange configure. See --with-readline/--without-readline.
Unfrotunately I currently does not have system with S9 similar to yours 
configuration :(. I tested Sun Studio compiler with following configure 
switch ./configure --without-readline --enable-thread-safety and it 
works fine. Can you try Sun studio?

Can you try build it as 32bit application? If there is not problem with 
64bit libraries.

I don't see any difference in ./configure related to pthread. Do you use 
same process for building? Do you have same version of all libraries, 
GCC or did you update some version? Can you compile 8.1.4 with same 
configuration?

It seems to me that it could be something wrong with your GCC compilation.
