To clarify, did you run

    sudo apt install libexpat1 libexpat1-dev

as well? (Your command explicitly mentions only 'libxml2' and
'libxml2-dev'.)

There's no need to run './configure' manually, just run './autogen.sh'
as documented in the "How to build" instructions also linked from the
Android documentation that you're using: [1]

There's no need to set a prefix for building. By default, the
installation goes to a subdirectory ./instdir and you can run it from
there right away.

Best is probably to run a 'make clean', and then run again. What does
your 'autogen.input' look like or did you pass any parameters to
'./autogen.sh' directly?
