I don't see how this could possibly have anything to do with libxml.
zend_language_scanner.c is generated by flex from zend_language_scanner.l

Your top-level Makefile should have a line that looks something like this:

/Users/rasmus/php52/Zend/zend_language_scanner.c:
/Users/rasmus/php52/Zend/zend_language_scanner.l
    @$(LEX) -Pzend -S/Users/rasmus/php52/Zend/flex.skl -o$@ -i
/Users/rasmus/php52/Zend/zend_language_scanner.l

And at the top of the Makefile you should see LEX=flex
