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:

     and let's try this:

  */

+ /* It doesn't work on MacOSX (__MACH__ and __APPLE__

== MacOSX). */

+ #if !(defined(__MACH__) && defined(__APPLE__))

  #define FASTCALL __attribute__((regparm(3)))

  #define PTRCALL

  #define PTRFASTCALL __attribute__((regparm(3)))

+ #endif /* Not MacOSX */

  

  #elif defined(WIN32)

FWIW, this was fixed with the checkin for bug 692878. 

However, the fix for that bug is incorrect, as it checks for

__GNUC__ and __linux__.  regparm is an i386 only feature, so

that will still generate a warning on Linux PPC.  The

correct fix is to check for __GNUC__ and __i386__.  I

confirmed this on Linux and FreeBSD 4 (which is left out of

the current fix.)

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.
