[xml] Problem building .so for libxml2-2.6.3 on Linux using Intel's icc 7.0

[Tom Epperly <tepperly llnl gov>]

xmlsoft.org isn't responding right now, so I couldn't do much searching 
to see if this has already been reported or fixed.

The libxml2-2.6.3 build fails when trying to make the libxml2.so.

bash-2.05$ icc -V

Here is the end of make:

I was able to finish the compile by hand by modifying the link line to 
the following (removing -lc and using -Wl,):

bash-2.05$ icc -c99 -shared  .libs/SAX.o .libs/entities.o .libs/encoding.o .libs/error.o
