I rebuilt it with --check and can confirm that XML_UNICODE is not
defined.
‘README’ mentions it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
If you are interested in building Expat to provide document
information in UTF-16 encoding rather than the default UTF-8, follow
these instructions (after having run "make distclean"):
1. For UTF-16 output as unsigned short (and version/error
strings as char), run:
./configure CPPFLAGS=-DXML_UNICODE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It’s enough to have the patch in ‘core-updates’ only, but I could go
either way. WDYT?
Ludo’.
