This patch does fix a bug here (that's why i explain the case triggering it).
For the branch to apply it, I let you judge, but libxml2-2.9.2 will
become more and more common. Archlinux already has it, the next
release of Ubuntu-15.04 and Fedora-22 include it (but debian Jessy
does not yet includes it); so if there is currently a few people
triggering this bug, they may be more by the time we release the
buildroot-2015.05.

BTW, I still have to check WRT Arnout's comment (how to tell cmake to
never look at /usr/share/cmake when cross-compiling).

Regards,
