Strange, Debian and Ubuntu built libghemical fine with gcc4 on all
arches.  The last upload has been a while, but hitting gcc4 regressions
seems somewhat unlikely to me, maybe one of the build dependencies
changed.

What architecture are you building on?  Can you try the libghemical
source Ubuntu package, maybe?

There are known problems with ghemical's VERSION_2_BRANCH, gcc4 and
64bit architectures like amd64 or ia64, however (casts losing
precision).
