The problem is in the Python library, I guess. Former versions of expat
consisted of libxmlparse and libxmltok libraries. The new version uses
just libxmlparse.
Since Sablotron doesn't link any expat library, python has to care for it.
The Python extension is not updated for a while (its contributed code,
not our own), it tries to link the old libraries.
Solution: find somewhere in python files '-lxmlparse -lxmltok' and
replace it with 'lexpat'. It should work.
