What version of the gcc compiler are you using?  What's the minimal
required to compile this version of libxml?

According to wikipedia, C89 means the 1989 version of ANSI C but looks
like 'long long' was added to C99 (1999/2000).   Was your build
configured correctly?

I haven't compiled libxml on linux but I did on solaris a few years
ago and I think we were using gcc 3.2.2 then.

When you tried to install via RPM, did it say what version of the
compiler it wanted to install?

Try gcc -v to get the version info.  If you have more than one version
installed, make sure you are using the correct one.
