The patch to make it work successfully is available in the cygwin
package -src tarball.

I am submitting all the *clean* patches to Daniel for inclusion, but
until an updated libtool with auto-import and gcc -shared functionality
is released (Gary is busy right now :}) I very much doubt Daniel would
accept such patches.

As for the default configuration working, thats why ports exist!

The cygwin -src package should honour --disable-shared. Are you
referring to other, libxml dependent code, or to libxml itself?
