The problem you've hit is that xapian-core's configure has detected
valgrind, but this valgrind is for 32 bit binaries while Xapian is
being built with a 64 bit compiler.  The warnings and errors are from
macros in valgrind.h.

This is fixed in the sources in SVN, so 0.9.0 won't have this problem.
The easiest workaround for 0.8.5 and earlier is force configure to
ignore valgrind, like so:

./configure VALGRIND=
