BTW, this is probably an old version of libxml (2.4.14). A newer version is available from http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html. With Mingw-GCC one can link directly to the dll. Alternatively, you can create an import library with pexports, which is part of the Mingw Utilities (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=158860).

Subject: [GnuWin32-Users] Trouble linking with libxml
I'm trying to build the GNUstep -base library in Msys and am using several packages from gnuwin32 including libxml. The compilation finishes but the linker complains about not being able to auto-import these symbols. I'm not terribly familiar with what's going on under the hood but the description in the ld manpage makes it sound like there's a limitation on the win32 binary format that prevents more than one memory offset being combined to reference a variable (which seems odd to me).
I think this was working just fine a few months ago.
