libxml-1.x is ancient, from the GNOME 1.x days; you shouldn't be using
it for *anything*.

That means your libxml is not where gcc expects it.  If you configured
libxml without arguments, then it will be in /usr/local/lib, and you
would need to add -L/usr/local/lib to the link command.

But again: you should NOT use libxml-1.  Distros which ship this xml2
program use a patch to port it to use the current libxml2, which is
already in the distro.  Install cygport and libxml2-devel (and their
dependencies) with setup.exe and use the attached .cygport to build
xml2.
