The file libxml-2.0.pc there (installed via Homebrew?) does not make
sense (and actually does harm) unless the header files are installed
into /usr/include.  You can do that by following the workaround
mentioned in the Xcode release notes, but I'm not sure this is the way
intended by the Homebrew developers (and I'm not using Homebrew).
Maybe you want to ask it at some Homebrew forum.

Anyway, this is not a bug in Emacs.  Closing.
