[xml] Compilation fails with Sun Studio on Solaris 10

Hello.

I was trying to compile libxml2-2.7.6 on a Solaris 10 5/09 Sparc 
system using Sun Studio 12 Update 1 compiler. No CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS
have been set.

--($ ~/Source/libxml2-2.7.6/.32.)-- env | grep ^C
CXX=/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC
CC=/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/cc

Any idea about what might be wrong?

Searching the list, I found an /ancient/ mail from 3 years, 28 weeks, 
1 day, 1 hour and 10 minutes ago *G* on
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.lib.xml.general/11165/focus=11169

However, according to Daniels answer from way back then, "Bill"
commited some patch.

I fiddled now with relaxng:

Now it compiles, I think - but I get a sh*tload of "symbol referencing"
errors -> http://pastebin.ca/1674946 . Unsure if they are related?

Well, I'd VERY much appreciate, if someone more knowledgeable could
please have a look ;)

Thanks a lot,
Alexander
