I have tried to compile expat-1.95.8 with MacOSX 10.4 but I obtained 
the following error while executing:

	$./configure --prefix=/Volumes/Ext/OpenSource/expat/install-1.95.8
	...snip
	mv: Makefile: set owner/group (was: 501/0): Operation not permitted
	config.status: creating expat_config.h
	config.status: expat_config.h is unchanged

with my user fcadili (not superuser)

The problem was inside config.status the at the instruction
	mv $tmp/out $ac_file

Replacing this instruction with:
	cat $tmp/out > $ac_file
	rm -rf 	$tmp/out

The error disappear.

Regards,
