Initial Comment:
 Unable to install expat 2.0.0 on my Mac.
 I get the following nonsense trying to build expat 2.0.0 on
Mac OSX 10.4.4 :

make
/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I./lib -I. -g -O2 -Wall -
Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions -
DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H   -no-undefined -version-info 6:0:5 -rpath /
usr/local/lib  -o libexpat.la lib/xmlparse.lo lib/xmltok.lo lib/xmlrole.lo
/usr/bin/libtool: for architecture: cputype (16777234) cpusubtype (0) file: 
-lSystem is not an object file (not allowed in a library)
make: *** [libexpat.la] Error 1

This seems to be a gcc problem, not an Expat issue.
Closing due to lack of follow-up by the original poster.

I don't have any problem building expat 2.0.0 with
Mac OS X 10.4.4 PPC.

Googling for your error turned up this page

http://www.petercooper.co.uk/archives/000698.html

which says that it's a problem with GCC 3.x and since
you're using Tiger you should be using GCC 4.x.

It seems we have no Mac OS X experts here.
If you figure out the problem, can you provide a patch?
