Hm. I got the same error about the entry point 
xmlGetWarningDefaultValue. So I tried to add -lxml2 to the compiler 
flags. Didn't work. How do I link properly against the libxml2?
I don't want to apply the patch (probably by hand -> mess around in the 
sources) as long as I'm not able to compile a working gnustep 
environment.
