Just tried the build again on Linux x86 and x86_64. Everything seemed
fine. I had a look at fedora and debian's expat packages. Here are
some patches they're applying:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/rpms/expat/devel/expat-1.95.8-pedantic.patch?view=markup
http://patch-tracking.debian.net/package/expat/2.0.1-4

I cc'd the package maintainers (at least, who I think they are), to
see if they have any specific input on those patches.
