Comment (by ryandesign):

 It is unusual that it is trying to link with the static library libxml2.a.
 It should be linking with the dynamic library libxml2.dylib. Once that is
 fixed, the undefined symbols should disappear.

 The meson log says the reason is:
 {{{
 Rejected /opt/local/lib/libxml2.dylib, supports ['ppc7400', 'ppc64'] but
 need ppc
 }}}

 It is "normal" for software to build for ppc7400 (G4) when `-arch ppc` is
 used on a system version that does not support G3 processors. Maybe meson
 is not aware of that and needs to be enhanced to deal with it.
