This turned out to be a problem with assert as defined in 
/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/include/assert.h.  I copied
the assert.h
from /usr/include and built using that.  I received a
warning about
"pragma ident ignored" but all went well.

What is the output of:

$ cat > foo.c
int main() { return 0; }
$ gcc -v foo.c

This looks like a gcc bug. Maybe this compiler has been
built on a different system than the one it is used on. This
must be avoided since GCC overrides some system header files
at build-time, and thus depends on the specificities of the
system it was built on.

Also which version of expat is this?
