IMO these trace back to:

H:\commoncpp2>grep -dn "(XML|Z)_LIBS" Makefile.am
File demo\Makefile.am:
17      Z_LIBS = -lz
24      urlfetch_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
27      xmlfetch_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
30      buffer_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
33      cmdlineopt_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
42      str_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
49      tcpservice_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
52      portsample_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
55      netdevices_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
58      serial_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
61      crc32_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
File tests\Makefile.am:
17      Z_LIBS = -lz
35      ccxx_tests_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD) \
46      digest_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)
57      url1_LDADD = ../src/libccext2.la $(XML_LIBS) $(Z_LIBS) $(LDADD)

I prefer editing "Makefile.am" to remove "Z_LIBS" definition and remove
references to "XML_LIBS" and "Z_LIBS" since there not truly used.

Thank you.

I paraphrase a prior unanswered question:  Why aren't "demo" and "tests"
built as part of the main build?
