Further digging shows some weirdness. This doesn't appear to be 
compiler-related. I've rolled back all the way to gcc 3.5. It is 
triggered by the following line in pg_regress.c, commenting out of which 
causes the problem to go away (although of course it causes the 
regression tests to fail):

     putenv(new_pgoptions);
