OK, That's interesting. I wonder if this is OK then. Is there a way to
tell if it's bogus or not?

I learned about this swich from the apr folks. http://apr.apache.org/
This is a quote from someone,
  It uses jlibtool, Justin's replacement for libtool.                           
                          
                                                                                
                          
  The source code for it is here:                                               
                          
  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk/build/jlibtool.c                
                          

I thought maybe there was some connection between libtool and this
option/project. If not, sorry.

OK, that's why re running configure with --enable-experimental-libtool
didn't change a thing :). Thanks for the insight.

I'm building apr, and apr-util from here,
  http://apr.apache.org/anonsvn.html
and I'm building log4cxx from here,
  http://logging.apache.org/site/cvs-repositories.html

I've built them all with mingw, and all of these packages, from what I
can tell, use libtool. 

XML_ParserFree comes from here,
 apr-util/src/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/expat.h:XML_ParserFree(XML_Parser parser);
which in turn, when I configured it, gave this message:

  *** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive 
/home/bobbybrasko/log4cxx/apr-util/src/apr-u
  *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when

Any ideas?
