More likely a configuration change in libxml2. Thanks for the report.

This is annoying because for the static build, we do install the libraries into a temporary directory and link them from there. If we set the "sysconfigdir" to "/etc", then the install during the build won't work any more.

Changing the build options for libxml2 depending on the version is also difficult because we don't always know which version of libxml2 we are building against. :-/
