Details:

With freshly cloned MXE 7a6637aa3aae tip "installer: ran octave through
explorer when running at end of install (Bug 43824)" libxml2 doesn't get built
(cross-built) for 32 bits.
Reverting to libxml2 v 2.9.1 (i.e., reverting cs 713653a0cc35 "libxml2: update
to 2.9.2") makes the MXE build continue.

Interestingly/intriguingly, a "--enable-64" build the day before worked fine
(also with a fresh clone).

After "hg clone" I merely did:
autoconf
./configure
make nsis-installer JOBS=9

MXE build log for libxml2 v.2.9.2 attached.
