[clamav-users] Compiling error: /usr/lib/libxml2.so: error adding symbols: File in wrong format

[Alexander Tampermeier]

I have been using ClamAV on my Linux box (Cross Compiled Linux from 
Scratch; gcc 4.8.2) for years now and it always compiled well.

Now, compiling version 0.98.3 (and also in 0.98.2) I get the following 
compiling error:

Does anybody know how to get around this? I already recompiled libxml2 
(v2.9.1) but the error persists.
ClamAV v0.98.1 still compiles perfectly.
