2) cd to that directory and issue commands ./configure and make.
3) since I didn't want to install it system-wide, I didn't do "make install" but simply copied (as root) ~/workdir/.libs/libxml2.so.2.9.2 to /usr/local/libs/sigil/ (which is where the sigil binary is located)
4) cd /usr/local/libs/sigil and (as root) ln libxml2.so.2.9.2 libxml2.so2
and that did it. My system is Kubuntu 16.04.1 64-bit Xenial Xerus

That's the ticket! (although I assume you meant renamed to libxml.so.2 and not .so2).
I've got a makeself installer that will locate the Sigil binary and place a patched libxml2 v2.9.4 next to it (for those less adventuresome). I just want to verify that I've covered my bases before making it available.
