I've made sure to have exactly these tools on my system, but I'm
already stuck here:

Below is a snippet from my buildlog where things start going wrong.
Would you mind taking a look at it to see if you can tell why I might
be having problems at this early stage?

[buildlog snippet begins]

make[2]: Entering directory `/c/libraries/libxml2-2.6.26'
if /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H \

I'm trying to use your exact prescription, so I haven't yet tried
building any later steps.
