Description
I'm getting this when I run `autogen.sh`:
```
/root/gitRepos/libsmbios/configure: line 18620: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBXML2,'
/root/gitRepos/libsmbios/configure: line 18620: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBXML2, libxml-2.0)'
```
I don't have enough experience with the `configure` tool to figure out what's wrong here.

Research direction
Reproduce the Debian 13 failure by running autogen.sh, then inspect the generated configure script around line 18620 and the configure-generation steps. Done means autogen.sh produces a configure script without the LIBXML2 syntax error and the project can proceed past configuration.
