I wonder if this is a compiler bug, or some bad code which happens to work
with some compilers.  Even if it's the compiler, it'd be nice to find a
workaround if it's not too hard.

Does 1.1.4 built with GCC 4.2 fail if you use the brass backend?  To try
it set XAPIAN_PREFER_BRASS in the environment before running the test:

export XAPIAN_PREFER_BRASS=1
