could be that libxml2/xslt/exslt were compiled with a newer compiler than the one you use.
Yup, that's it: http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-users@openssl.org/msg31551.html http://www.issociate.de/board/post/9216/Compiling_with_VC6.html
So, try this:
If you want to try, you can compile libxml2 and libxslt also from source. Since you're building lxml statically anyway, that should be ok for your purpose.
