It is trying to link against the system version of libxml2
(/usr/lib/libxml2.so). So a path is wrong somewhere: either it is
picking up the wrong version of the .pc file for libxml2, or you didn't
install the CVS version of libxml2 or something else.

But you are not doing what you think you are doing here (i.e. you are
not building against CVS libxml2).
