[xml] Creating libxml2 shared library for Montavista

["Gary Parks" <gparks sta samsung com>]

I'm trying to build a shared library version of libxml2 (version 2.6.10) for Montavista Linux. 

I've been able to create other dynamic libraries using ld -shared without issue.

 

The static version libxml2.a library builds work fine. I have no problem on a native linux builds. 

 

The config.log shows:
