 what about configure --help ?
----------------
System types:
  --build=BUILD     configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
  --host=HOST       cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]

Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
              headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP         C preprocessor
 
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
----------------

  Sounds the very basic steps that everybody who ever did cross-compilation
with GNU tools ought to know. Not specific to libxml2 nor libxslt...
