Hi,

The current Expat issues are not RC for Ghostscript per se, but
we should fix this by linking against the system copy of Expat.
(If a future issue is found in Expat, which allows code injection
we would need to issue a separate DSA for Ghostscript)

To achieve this, SHARE_EXPAT needs to be set in base/expat.mak:

----
# Users of this makefile must define the following:
#       SHARE_EXPAT - 1 to link a system (shared) library
#                     0 to compile in the referenced source,
#       EXPAT_CFLAGS - Compiler flags for building the source,
#       EXPATSRCDIR - the expat source top-level directory,
#       EXPATGENDIR - directory for intermediate generated files,
#       EXPATOBJDIR - directory for object files.
----


Thanks for the investigation!


 - Jonas
