Well, it's a bit discouraging that the notmuch test suite doesn't
compile on FreeBSD, but no I refer the Xapian test suite, presumably
included with the xapian-core source.

I mentioned your troubles to Xapian upstream developer Olly Betts, and
he told me there were some known problems with the Xapian test suite
when compiled with clang. If you are using clang, it would be useful to
see if you can duplicate the problem with xapian and notmuch compiled
with gcc.
