It cannot.

Nope, these are the imoprt library, the static library and the libtool
file for this library. You linked against another libxml2, maybe in
/usr/local/lib.
Remove this old installation (/usr/local/bin: libxml2.dll,
libxml2-config if present, /usr/local/lib/*xml2*,
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/*xml2*, /usr/local/include/libxml2) and install
the Cygwin libxml2 package again, then please try again to build the
application. Non cygwin packages are usually not supported at this
list.
