You linked against another libxml2, maybe in /usr/local/lib. Remove this old installation (/usr/local/bin: libxml2.dll, libxml2-config if present, /usr/local/lib/*xml2*, /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/*xml2*, /usr/local/include/libxml2) and install the Cygwin libxml2 package again, then please try again to build the application. Non cygwin packages are usually not supported at this list.
