gettext 0.17 build failure (expat related, multiple platforms)

[Matthew Woehlke]

I'm seeing this error on several widely-varying platforms (both old and 
modern, though not on Linux):

/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o xgettext 
[objects] libgettextsrc.la  -L/home/install/gnu/arch/lib -lexpat 
-R/home/install/gnu/arch/lib
gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/xgettext [objects] ./.libs/libgettextsrc.so 
/home/install/gnu/build/arch/gettext-0.17/gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/.libs/libgettextlib.so 
-L/home/install/gnu/arch/lib -lncurses 
/home/install/gnu/build/arch/gettext-0.17/gettext-tools/intl/.libs/libintl.so 
/home/install/gnu/arch/lib/libiconv.so -lc 
/home/install/gnu/arch/lib/libexpat.so  -R/home/install/gnu/arch/lib
Undefined                       first referenced

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to .libs/xgettext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [xgettext] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory 
`/home/install/gnu/build/sun4_solaris/gettext-0.17/gettext-tools/src'

The above is from sparc/Solaris, but I've seen comparable errors (i.e. 
link failure due to missing XML_GetFeatureList) on Irix and x86/Darwin 
as well.

All of the above have expat 2.0.1.
