George Feinberg had figure out the cause and gave the fix. The cause is type mismatching between DOMLSSerializerImpl.hpp and DOMLSSerializerImpl.cpp:

In the .hpp file(xercesc/dom/impl/DOMLSSerializerImpl.hpp):
virtual void setParameter(const XMLCh* name, const void* value);
From the .cpp file:
bool DOMLSSerializerImpl::canSetParameter(const XMLCh* const featName
, const void* /value/) const
Note that the .cpp uses "const XMLCh * const featName" where the .hpp file
uses "const XMLCh *name"

The fix is removing the extra "const" from the .cpp file:
edit xercesc/dom/impl/DOMLSSerializerImpl.cpp

• bool DOMLSSerializerImpl::canSetParameter(const XMLCh* const featName
  + bool DOMLSSerializerImpl::canSetParameter(const XMLCh* featName
• bool DOMLSSerializerImpl::canSetParameter(const XMLCh* const featName
  + bool DOMLSSerializerImpl::canSetParameter(const XMLCh* featName
• void DOMLSSerializerImpl::setParameter(const XMLCh* const featName
  + void DOMLSSerializerImpl::setParameter(const XMLCh* featName
• void DOMLSSerializerImpl::setParameter(const XMLCh* const featName
  + void DOMLSSerializerImpl::setParameter(const XMLCh* featName
• const void* DOMLSSerializerImpl::getParameter(const XMLCh* const featName) const
  + const void* DOMLSSerializerImpl::getParameter(const XMLCh* featName) const
