ah, the joy of autoconf...:-/

I remember running into problems with configure tests when done with
a C++ compiler instead of C. The problems were related to tests not
being correct C++ code. The autoconf m4 macros are full of them. :-(

Well, what I tried to point out was merely that you should build libxml2
with a C++ compiler to let stack unwinding 'pass through'. It seems
it's not as simple as it could to make the build system understand that.
