You could try this in your configure.in. It calls xml-config directly
rather than using the GNOME_XML_CHECK macro.

dnl Get libxml flags & libs
AC_PATH_PROG(xml_config, xml-config)
if test "x$xml_config" = "x"; then
  AC_MSG_ERROR([*** xml-config not found.])
fi

XML_CFLAGS=`$xml_config --cflags 2>/dev/null`
XML_LIBS=`$xml_config --libs 2>/dev/null`
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $XML_CFLAGS"
LIBS="$LIBS $XML_LIBS"
