This is what I've been working on for the past week.

I can't recall how many times I've rebuilt libxml2 from scratch, and 
this file just won't show up.

libxml2 does build successfully, each time. But libxml2.a is never part 
of the inventory:

# pkg info -l libxml2 | grep libxml2.a
         /usr/local/share/doc/libxml2/api.xsl
         /usr/local/share/doc/libxml2/apibuild.py
         /usr/local/share/doc/libxml2/architecture.html
         /usr/local/share/doc/libxml2/libxml2-api.xml
#

System is 13.0-RELEASE-p8.

Mark.
