I've tried just about everything I can think of.  Basically, just about
all permutations of setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH, EXPATLIBPATH
and EXPATINCPATH.  I've also tried setting the compiler to gcc instead
of cc.  Included below for examination is a snip showing the error.

Here's what I *have* noticed and what I can't figure out.  I've tried
altering the Makefile (after running perl64 Makefile.PL) and changing
things around a bit.  For instance, if I have LD_RUN_PATH set in my
environment and I change the line in the makefile that has LD_RUN_PATH
in it (to the path of the Expat I just built), I still get:
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib" cc .. 
As the line that 'make' is attempting to run. (see below)

Note: that /usr/local/lib does have an older version of Expat in it, but
that I am trying to get it to use my copy.

Please help as I have wasted a lot of time on this already...
