I tried to ask Ryan about this at one point on IRC, but the message could
easily have gotten lost. I haven't been able to think of anything the
powerpc, mips, and mipsel platforms have in common that would explain why
xerces should not be built there but should be built on all other archs; but
to be safe, I hope Graham tested the resulting binaries before uploading
them, to check for any overt brokenness?
