Speaking of going to the source (cue evil laugh here)...

Have you thought about compiling Xastir from sources?  Perhaps someone on here who has done so can help you out directly.  By compiling it yourself you gain the ability to compile in what you need, and only what you need, as well as gain the ability to upgrade to the latest Xastir version at will.

I have a Pi at work but haven't compiled Xastir on it, so I won't be much help.  It's all Linux though, so between apt-get and the README.CVS file you theoretically have access to the info you need.

Since someone just offered to create a binary wtih Festival support, waiting for that to occur is another (more limiting) option.
