[xml] Solaris gcc build issue

["James H. McCullars" <mccullj email uah edu>]

Hi, I'm trying to build the latest version of libxml2 on a Solaris 9 
system (Solaris comes with libxml2 but I am building PHP 5 and it 
requires a later version than comes with Solaris).  I'm using gcc 3.1 
which we installed as a package from sunfreeware.com.  The problem is 
I'm getting relocation errors.  Using this configure command:

        ./configure --with-zlib=/usr/local

I get this error:

And several dozen similar lines.  I get similar errors on the build 
when I do the configure command without the
--with-zlib parameter.  Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
