I'm working on my old PowerMac G5, powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0. I'm

First of all, it's great to hear that libxml2 compiled at all and that most of
the tests seem to pass.
libxml2's make check is hanging at:
...
Testing nanoftp : 14 of 22 functions ...
Testing nanohttp : 13 of 17 functions ...
Testing parser : 61 of 70 functions ...

Does anyone have an idea what may be going sideways?
That's the 'testapi' test which causes the same problem on Windows. The test
should complete eventually. It's just incredibly slow. One possible
explanation is that somewhere an array is reallocated every time an element is
appended. Some Linux allocators can handle repeated reallocations in linear
time, but in general, you have to expect quadratic behavior. I just haven't
found the time to investigate the issue.
