The main issue is that you start 2 threads and then immediately leave
the main function, which exits your program and would also destroy all
threads. But it does not get so far...

Each thread needs to have a unique UTCB. In this example, you could fix
it like this:
    l4re_env()->first_free_utcb = (l4_addr_t)l4re_env()->first_free_utcb + L4_UTCB_OFFSET;
Remember that the size of the initial UTCB area is limited, so this only
works  a few times (allocating more is possible).

As both threads use the same UTCB this could result in the behavior
you're seeing.

Just calling thread() here should also work.
