Thanks for the reply. My GCC version is 3.4.6 with glibc-2.3.6. Your
suggested trick to disable optimization worked for me :). So, looks
like my toolchain is buggy somewhere in code generation. Now session
bus is working on board under normal user, and also dbus-monitor
executed from this normal user account is able to connect to this
session bus.

But session bus started from the "root" account, doesn't allow to
connect clients from the normal user, looks like some permission
issues of socket file, I will check this in more details.

Thanks again for great help.
