>  * When compiling which tool?

First, 'gst-xmllaunch-0.10', then when fixing manually one by one all of the
tools fail with the same error.

>  * What's the last gcc line and all the output after that?

> Did you see the comment in configure.ac above the GST_ALL_LIBS line?

No, I didn't. Now I have. This is what it says:
 LIBS: XML doesn't need to be added because we don't explicitly use symbols
from LibXML except for in the core library

>From what I understand it doesn't matter if we use the symbols explicitly or
not, you won't be able to link to a library if there are unresolved symbols.

I checked the code and this is what I found:

In the tools directory all of the binaries have the following:
_LDFLAGS = $(GST_OBJ_LIBS)

* Note: maybe _LDADD is more appropriate, according to:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Linking.html#Linking

GST_OBJ_LIBS doesn't have XML_LIBS or any -L flag that might help to find the
'libxml2.so.2' needed by 'libgstreamer-0.10.so'.

In fact the same happens with the the binaries under 'tests', there is no
XML_LIBS and I get exactly the same results.

Now, 'libgstcoreindexers' does have XML_LIBS in it's _LIBADD, but no other
library has it, except 'libgstreamer'. Also it might be relevant that
'libgstcoreindexers' has only a static version (I guess that's how you would
call a .a that doesn't have a .so). So my best guess is that libtool somehow
can find where is 'libxml2.so' from 'libgstreamer-0.10.la' and do all the magic
for shared objects.
