This is probably due to a bug in more recent libtools for the Windows
environment.  Libtools is supposed to be adding the .libs path to PATH
before executing and the current release doesn't.  I've already
reported that bug to libtool.

The missing test directory and also result directory was my issue with threads.

cp -a /src/libxml2-2.8.0/test /builddir/
cp -a /src/libxml2-2.8.0/result /builddir/

There were 10 tests that failed, all related to ebcdic and that is not
a regression.
