`xml2-config --libs` prints private library dependencies by default. This is un-necessary and incorrect when linking against libxml2 dynamically.
Debian patches libxml and libxslt to allow `--libs --static`, but as pointed out in [1], this breaks existing applications expecting all libraries, including private dependencies. The recommendation in [2] is to patch xml2-config to add a --dynamic option to --libs, before patching libxslt to fix several issues with private dependencies. I’ve submitted a patch for xml2-config in a pull request on Gitlab [3].
