Those are the same steps (commands) I originally carried out, the same
ones I posted (the ones you quoted above), just with less lines
replaced with "[...]".

I ran the below script [sh] (it definitely is not optimal but should
work for installing new releases easily). I don't know if everything
went perfect.

The tools are there:

tobi ~/del $ xmllint2.6.2 --version
/home/tobi/bulk/run/libxml/2.6.2/bin/xmllint: using libxml version 20602
   compiled with: DTDValid FTP HTTP HTML C14N Catalog XPath XPointer XInclude Iconv Unicode Regexps Automata 
Schemas
tobi ~/del $ xsltproc1.1.0 --version
Using libxml 20602, libxslt 10100 and libexslt 800
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20602, libxslt 10100 and libexslt 800
libxslt 10100 was compiled against libxml 20602
libexslt 800 was compiled against libxml 20602

... and this might be good news:

tobi ~ $ grep -i "error" del/compile_libxml/libxslt-1.1.0/my_make.log
tobi ~ $ grep -i "warning" del/compile_libxml/libxslt-1.1.0/my_make.log
tobi ~ $

This one might not be a problem:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tobi/del/compile_libxml/libxslt-1.1.0/tests/documents'
diff: ./test_bad.result: No such file or directory
diff: ./test_bad.err: No such file or directory
diff: ./fragment.result: No such file or directory

... I also don't know if these are of any relevance:

If you want I can send you any of the logs (eg attached, off-list),
or the output of any command (eg gcc --version etc).
