I would appreciated it if you could experiment just a little bit more.

a) instead of <darwin><*>... try each of the following

<darwin><release><optimization>space
<darwin><release><optimization>space

and try with and without

<darwin><inlining>off

Is there anyone who want's to chiime in and indicate how these statements
would be applied to just one source file in the library - that is
xml_grammar.cpp .  This is the only one thats coughing here ( and the only
one that's using spirit ).  In fact, I believe that spirit test should be
run in release mode - this will amost surely highlight the root cause of the
problem.

In fact if you want to do a good deed and you have a little time.  And since
you're right there in the key spot And since you're going to get a huge
boost from boost, It would be great if you could run the sprit test suite in
release mode.  This would be of great help to us.
