</span>Can you expand on what you're trying to accomplish? Are you trying to<br>
build a static binary? I don't think you actually are trying to<br>
install libxml2.a on the running image are you? Maybe you really want<br>
an SDK with a sysroot populated with static libraries so you can link<br>
against them?<br>
