Peter,

This is part of the expat library.  You could try configuring --without-expat
to doing a clean build.  I'm guessing you have a version of expat that is too
old, or too new and lacks XML_StopParser.  If you could provide version
information it might make it possible for us to dig further into the issue.

Best regards,
