May be is better without  else clause of the patch, i.e. only
if test "$lt_cv_prog_gnu_ld" = yes; then
  VERSION_SCRIPT_FLAGS=-Wl,--version-script=
fi


The format described here 
"http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/appendixb-45356?a=view"; is 
similar. May be sun native linker don't like the name after closing 
bracket and semicolon, i.e quote from current script :
=================
....
LIBXML2_2.7.4 {
    global:

# globals
  xmlStructuredErrorContext; # variable

# xinclude
  xmlXIncludeProcessTreeFlagsData;
} LIBXML2_2.7.3;
=============

May be for native sun linker :
=================
....
LIBXML2_2.7.4 {
    global:

# globals
  xmlStructuredErrorContext; # variable

# xinclude
  xmlXIncludeProcessTreeFlagsData;
};
=============
