That's a patch I made to the Makefile and submitted to James Clark.
For Modules/Setup.in, I can change it to explicitly list the 8 files
from Expat that need to be linked to.  The problem is that one of the
files will vary:

# Use one of the next two lines; unixfilemap is better if it works.
FILEMAP_OBJ=xmlwf/unixfilemap.o
#FILEMAP_OBJ=xmlwf/readfilemap.o
