Ah! I forgot to run ./configure --with-libxml. I thought it was
enabled by default if libxml2 is available. Now I get the same errors.
Also with 2.13.2-1 which is currently still in core-testing.

So, there must be breaking changes in 2.13.0:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.13.0

Maybe you can downgrade in the meantime, if you still have 2.12.7 in the
cache:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libxml2-2.12.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
