 1/ Ask you compiler vendor for help
 2/ Try another compiler
 3/ Ask your platform vendor for help
 4/ Switch to a reasonable platform :-\

If you don't have the informations needed to debug, well you can't debug.
Libxml2 comes with full source, you can check if the problem is there.
If you don't have the same capability on other pieces of your environment
maybe it's time to question this instead of libxml2 !
xmlMalloc is a pointer to a function in libxml2. It is a public variable
when using thread support it's actually attached to the thread context.
The value is initialized with malloc() at compile time statically.
Try to compile without libxml2 thread support...this might help too.
