FTBFS with libxml2 2.14.0

    Description

      MariaDB 11.4.5 fails to build from source when compiling against libxml2 2.14.0.

      The proximate error is in the attached file error.txt.

      The root cause is that plgxml.h makes an #ifdef check against an undocumented typedef:

      #if !defined(BASE_BUFFER_SIZE)

      to detect whether libxml2's tree.h was included, but in this recent commit, the definition of BASE_BUFFER_SIZE was removed from tree.h:

      https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2/commit/696572248fe96c44a60120be5b3ba42a4abcfb31#diff-4d724327c74c8e7b349eb38258524a6228cc3e06b5d10f783557a8f38bcf737bL67

      Replacing BASE_BUFFER_SIZE with 

      __XML_TREE_H__

      in plgxml.h fixes the problem.

          Hi mariadb-AlexHanshaw,

          Let's try to do it this way: if I fail to get it fixed by Monday, or you need it sooner, let's have it reassigned.

          Sounds good, ping me Monday if I need to find a different owner. I hope you have a great weekend.

          FWIW, the libxml2 2.14.0 release has major issues and regressions, and Alpine Linux reverted back to 2.13.6, but they (libxml2) will eventually get their act together and the removal of BASE_BUFFER_SIZE is likely to stick.
