my server is still RHEL3 and I can reproduce this. I'm puzzled because
I was sure I tested the weak symbol support on RHEL3 before pushing 2.6.19
maybe I updated the compiler on the other RHEL3 box :-\

Yes, the problem is the following in threads.c:
#ifdef __GNUC__
#ifdef linux
#if (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3) || (__GNUC__ > 3)
and gcc being 3.2.3 it doesn't pass there while configure.in does
*linux*)
if test "${CC}" = "gcc" -a "${THREAD_LIBS}" = "-lpthread" ; then
THREAD_LIBS=""
BASE_THREAD_LIBS="-lpthread"
fi
;;
independantly of the version of gcc ...
There is 2 options:
- remove the version test in thread.c -> it will break somewhere
- add a test in configure.in matching the version with the one in
thread.c -> sounds the right thing to do
relates to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306907
though it's for gamin and not libxml2 it's the same problem, and I don't
have a complete solution. Probably need a compiler portability expert input
to get it right...
