> Mark Brown determined that the problem he saw with libxml was due to it depending on zlib internals not specified in the zlib interface (zlib.h).  E.g. assumptions about the internal structure of gzFile and the internal operations of the gz* functions, which of course have changed in the new gz* implementation.  This version of zlib, or more accurately, libxml, still has these problems.

just a note: it compiles flawlessly with cegcc (mingw32ce) with the 
command:

  make -f win32/Makefile.gcc CC="arm-mingw32ce-gcc" AR="arm-mingw32ce-ar" RANLIB="arm-mingw32ce-ranlib" RC="arm-mingw32ce-windres" STRIP="arm-mingw32ce-strip" CFLAGS="-DNO_ERRNO_H -g3 -O0 -DNO_FSEEKO"

so without passing -DOLD_GZIO

thank you !
