Amazon Linux 2 and Xilinx Runtime Issue

Installation of the Xilinx Runtime on a clear Amazon Linux 2 instance (which is RedHat based) leads to OpenCL runtime errors.

Xilinx Runtime (XRT) 2018.2_XDF.RC5 Installation instructions:

Prerequisites:
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)

sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y epel

Example application:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <CL/opencl.h>

int main(){
        cl_uint num_platforms;

        cl_int errcode_ret = clGetPlatformIDs(0, NULL, &num_platforms);
        if (errcode_ret != CL_SUCCESS){
                fprintf(stderr, "Error: clGetPlatformIDs (%d)\n", errcode_ret);
                return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }

        printf("Info: %d opencl platform(s) found!", num_platforms);

        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Makefile:

SRCS = test.cpp
OBJCTS = $(SRCS:.cpp=.o)
EXE=test

CC = g++ -Wall

CFLAGS = -I${XILINX_XRT}/include
LFLAGS = -L${XILINX_XRT}/lib -lxilinxopencl

all: ${OBJCTS}
        ${CC} ${OBJCTS} ${LFLAGS} -o ${EXE}
        ${RM} ${OBJCTS}

%.o: %.cpp
        ${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c ${<} -o ${@}

clean:
        ${RM} ${OBJCTS} ${EXE}

3 sequential runs:
$ ./test
Segmentation fault
$ ./test
Segmentation fault
$ ./test
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
Aborted

The problem must be related to boost library dependency!
(Our JVM application stated libboost.so as the problematic frame.)

Note that on a CentOS machine the same XRT installation works smoothly.
