I think you want MLOBJS=libexpat.lib
(or MCFLAGS += --link-object libexpat.lib),
assuming libexpat.lib is in the current directory.
MLLIBS is documented in the user guide as being a list of `-l' options. 
These are currently passed to mmc without checking, which is why
libexpat.lib is incorrectly treated as a source module.
