Re: anole - test case sha2 fails on all branches

Hi Noah

The build at commit 36e5247 also failed. With new buildfarm client 4.15, we
used additional configure options like --with-gssapi -with-libxml
--with-libxml --with-ldap --with-libxslt . The build at commit 36e5247 and
last commit is successful without these options. I'll check which of these
libs is causing an issue and if updating it resolves it.

Thanks.
