libxml 0.99.3

[Philippe Defert cern ch]

I generated succesfully libxml 0.99.3 with egcs 1.1.1 on the
following platforms: 

sparc-sun-solaris2.6
i686-pc-linux-gnu
alpha-dec-osf4.0b
hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0
mips-sgi-irix6.5

All was ok except:

- powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0, libtool is not correct, it does not generate
  a correct libxml.a. Solution: use libtool from gnome-libs 0.99.4

with included libtool:

 : :/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -O2 -L/usr/local/lib -o libxml.la -rpath /usr/local/lib  SAX.lo entities.lo encoding.lo error.lo parser.lo debugXML.lo tree.lo  
 :*:libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 shared libraries
 : :mkdir .libs
 : :ar cru .libs/libxml.a
 : :ranlib .libs/libxml.a
 : :creating libxml.la
 : :(cd .libs && ln -s ../libxml.la libxml.la)

with libtool of gnome-libs 0.99.4:

 /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -O2 -L/usr/local/lib -o libxml.la -rpath /usr/local/lib  SAX.lo entities.lo encoding.lo error.lo parser.lo debugXML.lo tree.lo  
libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 shared libraries
rm -fr .libs/libxml.la .libs/libxml.* .libs/libxml.*
ar cru .libs/libxml.a SAX.o entities.o encoding.o error.o parser.o debugXML.o tree.o
ranlib .libs/libxml.a
creating libxml.la
(cd .libs && ln -s ../libxml.la libxml.la)

Amicalement.
Philippe.
