There are problems with linking libraries on windows, depending on how the
libraries were built.  I am not aware of any pre-built version of libxml2
available for windows which works with other code built by the gcc compiler
the way gnustep is.

You can configure the base librarry with the --disable-xml option to work
around the problem (though of course that means no xml support).  Your other
option may be to build libxml2 yourself, from source and using the same
compiler that you use to build gnustep-base.  I haven't tried that myself,
but I've heard reports that it works.
