Tried to build 4.3.32 and 5.0.12, both failed to find libxml2 headers
(which is installed, I followed the deb instructions on the linux
compile wiki page). After a few more packages, ran into kernel header
issues. I'll need to investigate tails's build system a bit more and
update when I have more info.
