I saw something similar on QNX.  In x11/libX11/Makefile I
had to use:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --without-xcb

The default was --with-xcb.

I haven't had a chance to debug further yet and not sure
if it's the same issue you're seeing but it's something
to try...  IIRC one of xcb's features is improved threading
support and I was also on smp on QNX.
