Also just FYI: 

Maybe this is already in the bug list, but on my OSX 10.3.6 box with
the latest apple-distributed gcc, we seem to hit some fatal compiler
bug when building xml_grammar.o in release mode only: the compile
never exits, load stays high, and the compiler's memory usage grows
steadily and without bound...  Debug mode builds fine and in a
reasonable amount of time.
