I removed '-Wl,libexpat.so.1' from the cmd and I ran manually : 
gcc -shared lib/.libs/xmlparse.o lib/.libs/xmltok.o lib/.libs/xmlrole.o -L/rtools/workspaces/sol28-64/gcc-4.2.1/readline-5.2/lib -L/rtools/workspaces/sol28-64/gcc-4.2.1/bzip2-1.0.4/lib -L/rtools/workspaces/sol28-64/gcc-4.2.1/zlib-1.2.3/lib -lc -Wl,-soname -o .libs/libexpat.so.1.5.2

which works ...
