Solaris 10 includes libxml2, but a lower version than the emerge tree has. emerging php with xml includes the Solaris installed one: /usr/bin/xml2-config instead of the $PREFIX/usr/bin/xml2-config Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libxml2 2. USE=xml emerge php 3. Actual Results: Configure indicates the xml2-config is: /usr/bin/xml2-config Expected Results: Should indicate $EPREFIX/usr/bin/xml2-configI I was able to fix by adding my own ebuild (in usr/local/portage) of php, for the file php-5.2.12.ebuild at line 356: if use xml ; then myconf="${my_conf} --with-libxml-dir=${EPREFIX}/usr" phpconfutils_extension_with "libxml-dir" "xml" 0 "${EPREFIX}/usr" fi It'd be nice to have this included if possible, so it will add the libxml-dir path as other options have this added.
Please provide emerge --info, I assume you are on Prefix. Don't add architectures yourself.

short remark: are you bootstrapping still? if not, make sure you get rid of LDFLAGS="-L/sys_tools/usr/lib -R/sys_tools/usr/lib -L/sys_tools/lib -R/sys_tools/lib"
applied your suggested change, thanks
