Compiling expat for OSX

Hi,

in a fit of XML fever I tried to install XML::Parser on my OSX machine
(running 10.0.4 with the standard 5.6.0 perl that came with the original
OS). To install XML::Parser you first need to install expat, and here's
where my trouble arose. I downloaded 1.95.2 from

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/

Using the naïve "./configure", "make", and hopefully "sudo make install"
mantra we get the following results:

"./configure" seems happy, and knows who we are...

[checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin1.3.7]

But "make" ends with something of a bang: its mercifully short death throes
are pasted below. Anyone care to suggest some switches that might be used to
caress/flog the Makefile into submission? Thanks in advance for any help, as
searching for hints via google has left me utterly clueless.

Cheers,
        Paul
