Building XML::LibXML with libs in a non-standard location

Folks,

I'm trying to build XML::LibXML with libs in a non-standard location.
I want the linker to pick up the libraries in /usr/local/libxml2-git.
Unfortunately, it always picks up the libraries in /usr/local instead.
The XML::LibXML version is 1.69. The LibXML2 version is 2.7.4 in
/usr/local and Git HEAD in the non-standard location.

Here's what I've done:

(1) Added /usr/local/libxml2-git/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/bla.conf so it
appears before /usr/local/lib. Which works, as shown by ldconfig -p:

   libxml2.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/local/libxml2-git/lib/libxml2.so.2
   libxml2.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2
   libxml2.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
   libxml2.so (libc6) => /usr/local/libxml2-git/lib/libxml2.so
   libxml2.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so
   libxml2.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libxml2.so

(2) Defined LD_LIBRARY_PATH and even LD_RUN_PATH, only because ldconfig
alone didn't make the linker aware of my new libs.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/libxml2-git/lib
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/libxml2-git/lib

(3) Passed -L option to Makefile.PL:

# perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/usr/local/libxml2-git/lib'

Doing this, I get lots of errors:

LibXML.xs:1459: error: 'xmlPedanticParserDefaultValue' undeclared
(first use in this function)

Not doing this, the build works fine, but against /usr/local, not
against my non-standard location.

What am I missing?

How is it meant to work?

What's the significance of the steps (1), (2) and (3) described above?
Any of it good or bad or necessary or pointless?
