I don't think that 262853 is the source of the problem, though I'm not sure
from the provided information. A build with MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE and some
earlier bit of the log MIGHT make this clearer. As far as I can tell, the
libxml2 port does not install any .a libs, only the shareables (.so).

In any case, I re-installed libxslt one minute and 25 seconds after the
libxml2 commit with no issues on my 13-Stable system.
