Don't know the technical details, but (thanks Tóni)
https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationIssues pointed to:

After compilation, locate your libutil lib on Natty:
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libutil.so

Now do

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libutil.so
export LD_PRELOAD
now run Qgis

Strange thing is that the nightly builds of qgis run fine...
So apparently I miss some linking magic ???
