Can't build XML::Xerces

Hi,

I know this is really a developers list, but there doesn't seem to be a
user list for Perl Xerces, so I hope nobody minds if I ask here.

I'm attempting to build XML::Xerces on a Red Hat box using gcc 2.96.
I've built the Xerces C library (version 2.3.0), but I try to build the
XML::Xerces module (version 2.3.0) I get:

cp Xerces.pm blib/lib/XML/Xerces.pm
make -C Handler static

I'm using perl 5.8.3, compiled with ithreads and 64 bit support. I was
wondering if there might be known issues with this kind of setup. I've
tried googling but turned up little of use, except for a single Debian
developer who seems to have encountered a similar problem. Can anyone
suggest anything?
