  Hum, you have a problem with your compiler then or your architecture
is RISC or something:
paphio:~/XML -> ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.16 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       707226 Mar  2 19:16 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.16*
paphio:~/XML -> size /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.16 
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    614275        33896    3456  651627   9f16b /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.16

650KB and this is compiled as shared library with -fPic which steals one
register from the available set inflating the code size and with all options
included.

paphio:~/XML -> ./configure --help
[...]
--with-zlib[=DIR]       use libz in DIR
--with-python[=DIR]    Build Python bindings if found
--with-buffers          Use buffers for node content
--with-readline=DIR     use readline in DIR
--with-threads          Add multithread support(off)
--with-thread-alloc     Add per-thread memory(off)
--with-history          Add history support to xmllint shell(off)

--with-c14n             Add the Canonicalization support (on)
--with-xinclude         Add the XInclude support (on)

--with-debug            Add the debugging module (on)
--with-mem-debug        Add the memory debugging module (off)

  A lot of things are configured in by default configure them off
recompile and see,
