+Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: fix misdetection of libxml2
+
+A small typo in the detection of libxml2 leads to a successful
+pkg-config discovery of libxml2 to be ignored. As a consequence,
+configure.ac falls back to detecting the host libxml2, which does not
+work in cross-compilation situation. This commit fixes this small
+typo.
