[xml] error compiling libxml2-2.5.8 on mingw with MSYS

["Mikhail Grushinskiy" <mgrushinskiy comcast net>]

getting an error compiling libxml2 (2.5.8) on mingw under MSYS. (FYI)

 

 

It seems config.h and include/win32config.h redefine some of the symbols in nanohttp.c

 

 

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mikhail/libxml2-2.5.8'

 

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include       -g -O2 -Wall -c nanohttp.c
