stock asuswrt AC56U libxml build problem [FIXED]

Hi,

Stock AsusWRT on linux mint 17 doesn't seem to build.

1) git clone https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.git

2) wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/assarbad/build-asuswrt-merlin/master/debian-build-image

3) ./debian-build-image --prereq rt-ac56u


The error is in libxml2. I've pinned down the command that fails. "./configure" on libxml2 succeeded, but the "make all" fails:


Any ideas?

UPDATE! This is the fix; how can I submit this for review?

I think you just need to submit a pull request for it on GitHub.

Very strange, I build a test version a couple of days ago for my own AC56U and had no issues, I do not use mint though but Gentoo Linux.
