using newer distributions to compile old compilers will often cause trouble because
new distributions have recent gcc versions. e.g. if you compile gcc 3.4 with gcc 4.x you will end up
in some compilation issues. It is generally preferred that you use gcc 3.4 or less to compile gcc 3.4

I think you should add DEPENDS for libxml-parser-perl in intltool recipe and retry. Depending on native package may
not be required.
