configure for MSYS2 fails on shared libraries
I'm not sure if mingw is supported. I use msys2/mingw-w64 to build many gnu software packages. I think I was able to run ./configure and make to build both static and shared libraries of libxml2 2.9.7. But with 2.9.9 I see these lines in config.log:
configure:12633: checking if libtool supports shared libraries
configure:12635: result: no
configure:12638: checking whether to build shared libraries
configure:12663: result: no
configure:12666: checking whether to build static libraries
configure:12670: result: yes
The result is that I only get static libraries and all examples fail to build. If possible please update configure script so that I can build libxml using msys2 and mingw.
