I think we have a problem with itstool. I was trying to build gnumeric

disabling the generation of non-english docs:
sed -i '/^HELP_LINGUAS/d' docs/Makefile.in
but that is a hack to gnumeric for a problem with itstool. A program
should never segfault no matter what the input is. I'll note that we
have had problems with itstool before.
My question is whether we should revert to an earlier version of itstool
and if so, which one. It could be the latest before the 2.x versions,
itstool-1.2.0. Or perhaps version 2.0.2 that still uses python2.
Or I can add my hack to the gnumeric page.
Which way should we go?
There are (were) two reasons for the segfault in itstool when building
gnumeric: one in itstool itself, which was fixed by the patch on itstool
page, and another one in libxml2, fixed by the patch now on the libxml2
page... Have you recompiled libxml2 with the patch?

Thank you! I did have the patch to itstool, but I had not updated libxml2
to version 2.9.7 and did not have the patch for that. Rebuilding solved
the gnumeric problem.
