Well, we usually rely on people like you to deal with ports.  The main 
problem is we don't have endless amount of hardware and/or time.

Can it be installed under Windows XP?  I've never dealt with Interix 
before, so I don't really understand all of the details.

Something very bad is happening here with the loader.  I suspect there are 
some compiler bugs that are causing this.  Also, "egcs" indicates you have 
a very old version of GCC.  You will have problems building both Xerces-C 
and Xalan-C with versions of GCC prior to 2.95.x.  What version are you 
using?

I have seen this before with older, buggy versions of GCC.  Try running 
the runConfigure script and specify the -d option to disable optimization 
and see if that helps.
