From the stack trace I saw in a report the problem is not related at all
to mono, but to some sort of binary incompatibility that may involve
libgc, libpthread and libdl. Could you try compiling the attached
program on rh 7.2 and run it on 7.3 and report if it segfaults there?
Use the command line in the comment.
The source of the problem may be libgc poking inside some data structures
used by libdl/libc that may have changed.

Thanks.
