This looks like you're not using the cross compiler. The page fault
address "pf=bfeffffc" is in the standard user-level thread control
block (UTCB) area of L4/Fiasco, which uses the GS register as UTCB
pointer. Your standard Linux C++ compiler uses GS as thread-local
storage (TLS) pointer and most likely tries to access thread-local
data in the supc++ library.

Please check the etc/tools.conf file in your genode_fiasco build
directory for a line similar to:

  CROSS_DEV_PREFIX = /usr/local/crosstool/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/i686-unknown-linux-gnu-

Afterwards run "make VERBOSE=" to get a complete log and check which
GCC compiler is used. This hint is somewhat "hidden" at the bottom of
the wiki page about Genode on L4/Fiasco.

As our developer "community" is not that big currently, we only use
this mailing list. I hope the latency of 1-3 days is okay for you.
