I would suggest splitting the patch into different ones that only handle one issue at a time, and then sending them here to be reviewed. Hopefully this is the preferred method for libxml. I can however point out that at least the $(EXEEXT) bits might be bogus, as it would seem to only affect things if cross-compiled to win32 on a non-win32 host. Here on a Windows host with MSYS it works fine, as the convenience wrappers have a .exe extension. So it might rather be a libtool issue when cross-compiling, although I do not have that much experience in this field.
