Created attachment 303406 [details] [review]
libxml2-2.9.2-cross-compile.patch

the configure.ac's zlib check looks like:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/tree/configure.ac#n389
    AC_CHECK_HEADERS(zlib.h,
        [SAVE_LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"
	 LDFLAGS="-L${Z_DIR}/lib"
	AC_CHECK_LIB(z, gzread,[

but if Z_DIR is not set (the default), that means -L/lib is used instead which is bad juju when cross-compiling.
