Comment (by olly):

 I can build the usual test programs (`soaktest` fails in a similar way to
 `xapian-delve` though).

 `unittest`, `internaltest` and `stemtest` all pass.

 `apitest` fails for honey like so:

 {{{
 Running test: expandweights7...terminate called after throwing an instance
 of 'Xapian::InvalidArgumentError'
 Abort (core dumped)
 }}}

 This suggests exception handling isn't working correctly as the test
 harness should catch all exceptions.  In fact from the commented above it
 looks like the same issue we were hitting 4 years ago.

 But if I force a static library build (configure with `--disable-shared`)
 then the build completes and the testsuite passes except for a single
 failure with remotetcp_glass:

 {{{
 Running test: closedb5... FAIL: EXCEPTION std::string recursive delete of
 ".glass/dbw") failed, errno = File exists
 }}}

 Retrying just this testcase by hand, it seems to fail like that about half
 the time, and pass the other half.
