Perhaps someone at the freetz site?

Hmm, this file from freetz at least mentions the pkg-config file:
https://github.com/Freetz/freetz/blob/c763e9066d06d21bcd815e15b3f8fa494b3b2007/make/libs/libxml2/libxml2.mk

But yes, if you know hwo pkg-config works, you can easily "fake" a
libxml-2.0.pc file and have ffmpeg use it.

Hmm, that means you don't have a pkg-config tool for cross build
either? I would also fake this, but there may be a better way.
