Hi everyone,
I have a small issue that needs resolving.
My environment:
```
postgres@zxm-VMware-Virtual-Platform:~$ uname -i -s -r -v
Linux 6.11.0-29-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jun 13 20:29:41 UTC
2025 x86_64
postgres@zxm-VMware-Virtual-Platform:~$
postgres@zxm-VMware-Virtual-Platform:~$ xml2-config --version
2.12.7
```
After setting COPT=-Werror, compilation fails with the following errors
(warnings are enforced as errors):
```
xml.c: In function ??xml_parse??:
xml.c:1919:25: error: ??xmlKeepBlanksDefault?? is deprecated
[-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
1919 | save_keep_blanks =
xmlKeepBlanksDefault(preserve_whitespace ? 1 : 0);

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
```
These deprecation warnings do not impact the test results in any way.
Therefore, I have attached a patch to suppress these specific warnings.
