something is wrong with libxml or gnumeric

[Tomasz Kłoczko <kloczek rudy mif pg gda pl>]

Gnumeric 0.20 and libxml 1.0.0.
During Gnumeric ./configure:

checking for xmlNewDoc in -lxml... Unknown library `xml'
yes
Unknown library `xml'
^^^^^^^

And after this GNOME_XML_LIB is empty:

$ grep -i xml config.status 
s%@GNOME_XML_LIB@%%g

and during compilation I receive errors because libxml is not in
libraries list linked with gnumeric:

(cd .libs && gcc -c -fno-builtin -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions "gnumericS.c")
gcc -O2 -mpentium -Wall -Wno-unused -s -o gnumeric .libs/gnumericS.o

[.etc.]

All his because GNOME_XML_LIB is empty. Anyone know why or what is wrong
.. ? Is libxml 1.0.0 wrong xml library for Gnumeric ?

I can't see during configure getting description libxml from output
libxml-config script. Message "Unknown library `xml'" is displayed from
"gnome-config --libs xml" but ./configure from gnome-libs (1.0.5) not try
to look for _any_ xml library.
