FYI,

Kicad does not use expat directly.  wxWidgets does.  wxWidgets includes
expat in its source tree.

So one can argue that this is a discussion for the wxWidgets build
environment, and if it is built properly, then Kicad can simply use
wxWidgets, which should be responsible for the libraries that it needs.

Maybe an equally valid solution is to submit a patch to the wxWidgets
team, or to your distro team, or whatever.

It may not be the best solution, but before I identify the best
solution, I usually try and find more than one.
