Summary: Make of 1.95.2 fails on MacOS X 10.0.4

Initial Comment:
expat 1.95.2.tar.gz distribution
On MacOS X 10.0.4 (Darwin 1.3.7) make issues an 
error and halts:

cc -o xmlwf -static xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o 
unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs -lexpat
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt
0.o
make[1]: *** [xmlwf] Error 1
ma
ke: *** [xmlwf] Error 2

This does not happen with the older version 1.95.1

We no longer use -static in Expat 1.95.3, but rely on libtool.  Once libtool 
works on Mac OS X, everything will be happy.

Reclassifying this 
as a 3rd-party bug (libtool on Mac OS X).

When not done ./configure, change xmlwf/Makefile.in as 
follows. ( If configure has done, change xmlwf/Makefile )

#LDFLAGS= -static
LDFLAGS= -dynamic

I can build successfull and works well.

I made the fix Zenzen suggested and it failed again.  If
this happens check xmlwf/Makefile also for the -static flag
in LDFLAGS.

I can only agree with zenzen, this should be easy enough to fix with a check in configure.in

xmlwf/Makefile.in seems to want to add the -static 
option to LDFLAGS. This breaks OSX.
Removing the -static flag from LDFLAGS fixes the 
problem and everything appears to build happily.

The configure script correctly detects that this option 
doesn't work under OSX.

I also see make breaking on xmlwf with 1.95.2 on Mac OS X 10.0.4, but my symptoms are slightly different:

gcc -o xmlwf -static xmlwf.o xmlfile.o codepage.o unixfilemap.o -L../lib/.libs -lexpat
/usr/bin/ld: xmlwf.o incompatible, file contains unsupported type of section 5 (__TEXT,__picsymbol_stub) in load command 0 (must specify "-dynamic" to be used)
/usr/bin/ld: xmlfile.o incompatible, file contains unsupported type of section 4 (__TEXT,__picsymbol_stub) in load command 0 (must specify "-dynamic" to be used)
/usr/bin/ld: unixfilemap.o incompatible, file contains unsupported type of section 4 (__TEXT,__picsymbol_stub) in load command 0 (must specify "-dynamic" to be used)
make[1]: *** [xmlwf] Error 1
make: *** [xmlwf] Error 2

If you'd like to follow up with someone having the first problem, it was also <a href="http://archive.develooper.com/macosx@perl.org/msg00702.html">reported</a> on the perl-macosx list.  Like the original poster, 1.95.1 installs smoothly for me here.
