That's actually a regression: With 4.1.2 I get:

  integer :: iloc=index(xx,'bb')
                       1
  Error: Parameter 'xx' at (1) has not been declared or is a variable,
  which does not reduce to a constant expression

While with GCC 4.3.4 and later, I get an ICE. I have not tested 4.2.

The problem seems to be the delayed error output. In expr.c's check_init_expr,
one has:

        if ((m = check_conversion (e)) == MATCH_NO
            && (m = check_inquiry (e, 1)) == MATCH_NO
            && (m = check_null (e)) == MATCH_NO
            && (m = check_transformational (e)) == MATCH_NO
            && (m = check_elemental (e)) == MATCH_NO)
          {
            gfc_error ("Intrinsic function '%s' at %L is not permitted "
                       "in an initialization expression",
                       e->symtree->n.sym->name, &e->where);
            m = MATCH_ERROR;
          }

        /* Try to scalarize an elemental intrinsic function that has an
           array argument.  */
        isym = gfc_find_function (e->symtree->n.sym->name);
        if (isym && isym->elemental
            && (t = scalarize_intrinsic_call (e)) == SUCCESS)


What happens now is: "check_elemental" prints an error (which gets buffered)
and returns MATCH_ERROR. However, that value is not checked - thus the code
continues to the scalarize_intrinsic_call(e), which then gives an ICE.


Draft patch (only very lightly tested):
