The one that broke things for me in NetBSD is the rpath flag that got ignored. The thing is, if xml2-config is meant to give the flags necessary to compile a programme with libxml, then why pick-and-choose which flags you are going to use? I suppose I see two extremes, either you look for foo-config and use its flags, or you leave it up to the user to fill in CFLAGS/LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS appropriately (maybe with the aid of --with-libxml=[directory]) (and ac_check_lib). I was caught out as the current configure.in seems to be a bit of both.
