OK, I was able to solve this by installing the package
libxml-light-ocaml-dev. Now I get a little further, but eventually the
build stops again with this error:

Any ideas?
Which version of febootstrap are you pairing with this old libguestfs?
libguestfs up to ~ 1.7.something required febootstrap 2.x. After
that, febootstrap 3 is required.
You need to be really specific about what this "old Ubuntu" is that
you're trying to build on. What kernel version? What version of KVM?
In general terms we need a very recent version of Debian/Ubuntu,
because older versions just didn't support the features we need.
