Summary: MacOSX build error with Expat 1.95.6 (included with PyXML)

Initial Comment:
I had trouble with the expat 1.95.6 that is included
with PyXML
0.8.2 on MacOSX 10.2.6. The build of PyXML gave error
messages
(but didn't halt) when compiling xmltok.c. It appears to be
problems with the macros FASTCALL, PTRCALL and PTRFASTCALL
in internal.h. Defining these to nothing made the
compile succeed.
Here is the diff output:

  #define PTRCALL

  #elif defined(WIN32)

Bumping priority; this must be fixed for 1.95.7.  I've held
back mostly since I now have reasonable access to a Mac OS X
box, but haven't had time to really do much with it (like
testing Expat!).

I should have mentioned that I am using Fink and Fink's Python
distribution. Using /usr/bin/python instead only gives warnings,
but then, there are problems with LDFLAGS containing "-arch
i386" in
/usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile. If that string is
removed from
LDFLAGS, everything seems to go well.
