You are confusing different issues. The libxml2 library and headers may be somewhere else rather than under /usr. In fact, several libxml2 installs can exist at once. That is why libxml2 provides a utility to find the location of the library and headers.
Any -I options should be put in CPPFLAGS and any -L options should be put in LDFLAGS.
