Perhaps during this process, we can get someone from the Xerces-C team or
IBM Compiler development group to figure out why exception handling has
never passed regression in any XML-Xerces build for AIX. I have made
several attempts at debugging it, but the older xldb debugger is useless
on C++ code and idebug is unable to successfully load Perl + XML-Xerces
without self-destructing.
None of this has stopped me from actually _using_ it on AIX, but it would
be nice if all the regression tests passed.
