 Somehow your system or compiler includes are not in synch with your
installed libc, sounds bad, but you're right it doesn't sound like a
libxml2 problem.
 The great thing about those systems where everybody recompiles locally is
that you don't have the same system as your neighbour, this is also its
main drawback, you're on your own to debug the problem...
