Compiling with weave fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With pythonxy 2.6.50 weave fails to compile numerical C++ code with the
following error message:

C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\blitz/blitz/funcs.h: In static
member function 'static int blitz::Fn_abs<int>::apply(int)':
C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\blitz/blitz/funcs.h:503: error:
call of overloaded 'abs(int&)' is ambiguous
c:\program
files\pythonxy\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++/cmath:94:
note: candidates are: double std::abs(double)
c:\program
files\pythonxy\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/include/c++/cmath:98:

c:\program

C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\blitz/blitz/funcs.h: In static

C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\blitz/blitz/funcs.h:524: error:
'labs' is not a member of 'std'

While weave.test() runs without errors this is a problem, because it
prevents using pythonxy for longer calculations, which could be faster
using weave.

After some searching this might be related to the following bug in Ubuntu:

Can you please provide a test case for this issue (assuming it is still 
relevant)?
