I am not entirely sure, but from the aCC man pages it sounds like all you
may need is to recompile your code with -AA instead of -Aa. At least you
could give it a try and see if any source code changes are necessary.

No, I am afraid not. XSD was designed from the beginning to rely on
ANSI C++ (that is the reason why it works with such a wide range of
C++ compilers). If we change it to support -Aa it will automatically
break support for all other compilers.

The only other option that I can think of is to use XSD/e[1], our embedded
systems offering. I am sure it can work with -Aa in minimal configuration
(without STL, etc.). However, XSD/e only supports the stream-oriented
C++/Parser mapping. If you would like to explore this venue then I suggest
that you read through the Getting Started Guide[2] and see if it will be
appropriate for your application:
