Normally, configure fails badly, can't find compiler and such, if 
command line tools are not installed.  I guess you can compile without 
them, using homebrew or some such (have not tried it), so it is not an 
absolute requirement.

The test for libxml should add -I/Applications/Xcode.app/.... to where 
libxml is, if not in /usr/include.  It is hard to know what failed 
without the full config.log.  I suspect that the config.log is lost.
