Thanks.  Looks like the Python bindings are the problem.  A clean
install doesn't include the dev packages for Python.  The simplest
workaround is to disable Python.  Could you re-try the build using:

LIBXML2_CFG="--without-python" ./mythbuild.sh

which will disable Python.  Hopefully that should work.  If so I'll add
it to the script.

Hmm, don't understand this.  Myth links to the static zlib as do all the
other packages built.  Well, at least they're supposed to.  I wonder
what's importing the DLL?  Could you tell me what this outputs when run
from your build directory?

for d in mythinstall/win32/*.dll ; do echo "$d"; i686-pc-mingw32-objdump
\ -x "$d" | grep -i  zlib ; done
for d in mythinstall/win32/*.exe ; do echo "$d"; i686-pc-mingw32-objdump
\ -x "$d" | grep -i  zlib ; done

Thanks
