I built them on a 32-bit system with the x86-64 (x64 in MS parlance)
toolchain that comes with MSVC 8.0. The project files shipped with
Xerces-C++ 2.8.0 include 64-bit targets.

The only drawback of using 32-bit system to build 64-bit binaries
is that you cannot test them. I had to copy and test them on a
64-bit Windows Server 2003 box.

Well, it is actually quite easy since the targets are there and all you
need to do is have the toolchain installed.
