If that turns out to be a correct/needed fix we can certainly enhance the
configure script to do that automatically.  But first let's try to address the
remaining problems.

Fairly obviously, there is not enough information here for anyone to be able
to pursue the matter.  Were there any compilation errors?  Did the "make"
complete successfully?  "make tests" primarily runs the newly-compiled program
xmllint with various flags and files; the output from the "make" should show
those invocations.  If "core" files are being produced, there must be some
further information indicating what's going wrong.

If everything seems to go wrong, try running the newly-compiled xmllint with a
trivial xml file and see what happens, e.g.

bill $ cat test.xml
<root><text>hello</text></root>
bill $ ./xmllint test.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><text>hello</text></root>
bill $

then report back the results and someone should be able to help further.
