Well, no one has responded, but that's OK. Having applied my thinking cap, it seems obvious that if xmllint wants to do SAX2 stuff, that it's gonna fail to build if the underlying library doesn't contain the necessary bits.
Nevertheless, having disabled all those ./configure options, I get final (static) executables of only slightly over half the size, which is where I wanted to be. Thanks, Daniel, et al, for the great toolbox!

I'm building libxml2-2.7.8 on several different (redhat-based) platforms (using a long list of --with-xxx=no options,... see below for the options). The first one I tried was an up to date Centos 5.6 which went without a hitch. The second one is an older Centos 4.8, and with the same list of configure options I get this output: libtool: link: ar cru .libs/testdso.a testdso.o libtool: link: ranlib .libs/testdso.a libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "testdso.la" && ln -s "../testdso.la" "testdso.la" ) gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./include -I./include -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -pedantic -W -Wformat -Wunused -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wchar-subscripts -Wuninitialized -Wparentheses -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wredundant-decls -MT xmllint.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/xmllint.Tpo -c -o xmllint.o xmllint.c mv -f .deps/xmllint.Tpo .deps/xmllint.Po /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -pedantic -W -Wformat -Wunused -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wchar-subscripts -Wuninitialized -Wparentheses -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wredundant-decls -o xmllint xmllint.o ./libxml2.la -lz -lm libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -pedantic -W -Wformat -Wunused -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wchar-subscripts -Wuninitialized -Wparentheses -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wredundant-decls -o .libs/xmllint xmllint.o ./.libs/libxml2.so -ldl -lz -lm -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib ./.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `xmlSAX2EndElement' ./.libs/libxml2.so: undefined reference to `xmlSAX2StartElement' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [xmllint] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/fredex/programs/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.8' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/fredex/programs/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.8 (Final) Note the undefined references to xmlSAX2EndElement and xmlSAX2StartElement in libxml2.so. Here is the list of configure options I used: ./configure --with-reader --enable-ipv6=no --with-catalog=no --with-debug=no --with-docbook=no --with-ftp=no --with-html=no --with-pattern=no --with-push=no --with-regexps=no --with-sax1=no --with-schemas=no --with-schematron=no --with-valid=no --with-writer=no --with-xinclude=no --with-xpath=no --with-xptr=no Gcc version: $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.6/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=i386-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11) it appears to create the static library (which is my ultimate goal) so I may be OK as-is, but it makes me wonder. Suggestions welcome.
