Thanks, I got it.

When compiling wctype-h.c, rpl_towlower/rpl_towupper are emitted through
gettext-tools/gnulib-lib/wctype.h, since they are defined as "extern
inline".

However, wctype.h is also included by libxml/parser.c, through
libiconv's iconv.h and wchar.h.  Which is causing multiple definition.

I'll try to find a better solution, but a workaround is to use win-iconv
(whose iconv.h does not include wchar.h) instead of libiconv:
