Build options for libxslt only include:

      [x] CRYPTO     Enable crypto support
       [ ] MEM_DEBUG  Enable memory debugging

Not sure why libxslt is looking for libxml2.a.

I have other systems that have both libxslt and libxml2 installed 
without issue, upgraded without issue, and yet libxml2.a does not exist 
on these either.

I'd say out of the boxes we are trying to upgrade, half went well, half 
did not.
