Some target boards, such as the boards from ST, send their details (memory areas, register info, etc) to the host via XML (i.e. when using st-link). Therefore there are times when a cross-gdb needs expat to process this incoming information: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2013-03/msg00005.html I'm not trying to say this shouldn't be configurable or that expat handling shouldn't be broken out into its own script; I'm just pointing out that there are valid times when someone would want expat included in gdb-cross.
