I see the same problem. Updating to 1.2.14 changes the error slightly but does not eliminate it. Updating to 1.2.14 is not straightforward because the configure patch no longer applies and I do not understand its purpose so I'm ill-equipped to update the patch. The problem with the shared library extension not being properly detected should be reported to the developers of xmlsec most likely.
