Got the same or similar error two days ago after updating my git repository
and found in configure a warning about xml2-dev (if I'm not mistaken) being
not available. Installed that and the error went away.

Guess someone broke the optional dependancy on the xml2-devel package. I
think I remember some noise on this mailinglist from someone stating that
Wine without xml2 should be considered broken anyhow.
