Thanks to Pat allowing me use of his machine, I've tracked down the
problem.  When linking the _xapian.so library, g++ doesn't add a
dependency on libstdc++ and Python is written in C so doesn't link
against libstdc++ itself.

There's an easy workaround though.  Configure xapian-bindings as usual,
but run make like this:

make LDFLAGS=-lstdc++

I suspect the same issue will effect the other bindings, and perhaps
netbsd and freebsd too.

I wonder if we should always set LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ when using GCC - it
should be harmless on platforms (like Linux) where it is added anyway.

Cheers,
