For some reason the libxml2 configure phase decides that ansidecl.h
from binutils is present, but then at compile time it finds that it
actually isn't there!  I saw the same issue on both my desktop and
autobuilder setups.

I'll try a clean build to see if the problem persists.  The libz
change from last week seems to have put my builds in a bad state, and
the PR bumps intended to fix things really don't seem to be fixing
things, at least on my build machines.  I suspect it might be faster
to do a clean build than to track down where the corruption is.
