Created attachment 68581 [details] Output from config.log
SOLVED: it turns out that even though portage reportede that libxml was installed, it had infact failed to install (for whatever reason). However, since portage reported that libxml was installed, I assumed that there was some other error involved. Redoing a manual merge of libxml succeeded and, redoing emerge gnome-print succeeded too.
