[xml] Error when cross compiling libxml2 2.9.1 for windows on linux.

[Desmond Daignault <desmond daignault oneil com>]

This is my first time trying to cross compile libxml2.  I've been successful building it for windows using 
visual studio, but I need to cross compile it in order to support building swish-e (which also requires cross 
compiling).  Everything seems to go smoothly, I get several .exe files created as well as the libxml2-2.dll 
and corresponding .a files.  Just wondering what I can do to get past this undefined reference error when 
compiling runxmlconf.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Script I use to build with:

export CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
export CXX=i586-mingw32msvc-c++
export LD=i586-mingw32msvc-ld
export AR=i586-mingw32msvc-ar
export AS=i586-mingw32msvc-as
export NM=i586-mingw32msvc-nm
export STRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip
export RANLIB=i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib
export DLLTOOL=i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool
export OBJDUMP=i586-mingw32msvc-objdump
export RESCOMP=i586-mingw32msvc-windres
