I've now re-build libxml2. It was the silly libtool thing that caused it 
to be build static.

But still I have problems to build libsoup.
Still getting undefined reference to 'soup_* '

Output from pexports libsoup-2.4-1.dll is attached as pexports.txt
Output from nm libsoup-2.4-1.dll.a is attached as nm.txt
Those files are tiny this time.

I've looked at both iconv and zlib, but it seems that there are 
dll-files for both and pexports shows symbols that seems to be correct 
for the two libraries.

Any ideas for further investigation?
