[xml] libxml2 2.7.7 fails "make distcheck"

[Steve Emmerson <steve unidata ucar edu>]

Hello,

I'm trying to incorporate libxml2 into my software package and the fact
that it fails "make distcheck" is causing all sorts of problems with the
release engineering.

I note that a 2008 bug-report indicated failure with "make distcheck" --
but that bug's been marked as "fixed".

Here's my system:

$ uname -a
Linux gilda.unidata.ucar.edu 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu
Dec 10 10:36:29 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I didn't give the configure(1) script any options.

I've attached the entire "make distcheck" output. Here's the final section:
