Following up on this: if updating your compiler isn't an option,  
there is now a --without-graphite option that will configure xetex  
without the graphite library; this should allow you to get a working  
build, and only a very small minority of potential users would be  
affected by the omission. (E.g., people wanting to use N'Ko, Burmese,  
or some other relatively "obscure" scripts.)

It'd be better not to use this option, though, to maintain feature  
parity across as many platforms as possible. Consider it a "last  
resort" if you're really stuck with an old compiler/libraries, but  
not a first response to portability problems; in general, we want to  
fix those properly in the code.
