Source code as well as precompiled binaries for a number of platforms
can be downloaded from the Xerces-C++ Download page:

XSD 3.2.0 was extensively tested with Xerces-C++ 3.0.0 (prior to the 
release of both packages) and all precompiled binaries from now on
will be built with this (or later) version of Xerces-C++.
