It builds fine on my autobuilder:

It detects libxml and libxslt in $(HOST_DIR), according to the
configure script:

checking for xml2-config... /home/test/foo/host/bin/xml2-config
configure: using libxml-2.9.4
checking for xslt-config... /home/test/foo/host/bin/xslt-config
configure: using libxslt-1.1.29

Indeed $(HOST_DIR)/bin is before /usr/bin in the PATH so it uses the
Buildroot-built libraries.

Could you investigate a little bit more what's going on in your case? I
believe your patch is OK, but I'd feel more comfortable with a more
solid explanation.

Best regards,

Thomas
