Buenos dias, Jose,

Since Igor appears to have gone on holiday, I'll see if I can answer your
query.

xmllint.c should have a small patch:

Change line 16, which reads: 
  #ifdef _MSC_VER

to:
  #if defined (_MSC_VER) || defined(__BORLANDC__)

Interesting. I don't know what is causing this; I have no such problem.
Perhaps if you can provide a bit more information, I might be able to help:

I assume you are using a Borland compiler to build the application. Which
version of the compiler are you using?

Which version of libxml2 source are you using?

Do the test applications generated by the Makefile (e.g., testSAX) link and
run correctly?

What conditional defines are set in your project? "WIN32" should be defined;
"_MSC_VER" should not.
