Description Guillaume Bour 2013-08-01 08:33:21 UTC

Tried with both git trunk and libxml2-2.9.1.tar.gz versions.

When I want to  build a minimum-size library with '--minimum' configure options,
libxml2 build fail:

$> ./configure --with-minimum
...
$> make

Created attachment 250763 [details] [review]
Add additional defines checks

Only code place move and add 'ifdef' statements, without any code changes.
