Problems building Xalan-C on RedHat7

[Holger Flörke <fl...@doctronic.de>]

I would like to rebuild Xalan-C (Xalan-C_1_0-linux.tar.gz from 
xml.apache,org) on my RedHat7 machine. They use a new gcc:
 > Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
 > gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)

Running './runConfigure -p linux' is ok.
Running 'make'
 > cpp0: Invalid option -instances=static
I do not know the exactly meaning of this option. An amateur question: Can 
I savely remove it?

Editing Makefile and removing '-instances=static'
Running 'make'
 > In file included from XSLT/ElemApplyTemplates.cpp:68:
 > XSLT/StylesheetRoot.hpp: In method `void
 > StylesheetRoot::getNodeSetByKey (XalanNode *, const XalanDOMString &,
 > const XalanDOMString &, const PrefixResolver &, MutableNodeRefList &,
 > StylesheetExecutionContext &, map<const XalanNode *, KeyTable *,
 > less<const XalanNode *>, allocator<KeyTable *> > &) const':
 > XPath/PrefixResolver.hpp:76: `class PrefixResolver' is inaccessible
 > XSLT/StylesheetRoot.hpp:440: within this context
Mmmh, I am familiar with C++, but I can not explain why gcc is complaining.

Did anyone compile Xalan-C on RedHat7? Is this a problem related to Xalan 
or related to gcc?
