It builds on Linux, so if there's a bug left, can you please send me a
patch? Unless the problem is with some other library, then please send them
a patch.

Ok...so...this isn't a Shibboleth issue? It sounds like Xerces has to be
fixed, and I don't have commit access to it, and I really wasn't planning to
produce my own build.

One option would be to include a patch in a Macport to get applied when the
port installs. Assuming we even can fix it, I don't know what functionality
it requires from that library. If it needs that code, then I'd say this is
impossible to fix easily, isn't it?

Isn't this by definition either a 10.5 problem or not? Maybe that checking
code is only in 10.5 server?

10.4 compiled and running on 10.4 or 10.4 compiled and running on 10.5?

I'd say we'd have to ask the Xerces team, myself not being among them.
