[GnuWin32-Users] Trouble linking with libxml

[Jason Clouse]

I'm trying to build the GNUstep -base library in Msys and am using 
several packages from gnuwin32 including libxml.  The compilation 
finishes but the linker complains about not being able to auto-import 
these symbols.  I'm not terribly familiar with what's going on under 
the hood but the description in the ld manpage makes it sound like 
there's a limitation on the win32 binary format that prevents more 
than one memory offset being combined to reference a variable (which 
seems odd to me).

I think this was working just fine a few months ago.
