Answered my own question, sorry for the noise.  It was getting late last
night, and I thought I'd configured without "--enable-newstats", but after
doing a fresh build today the v2 xml appears at / again.

Still not sure about the 9.9.4 ARM reference to /xml/v2 and /xml/v3 (it
would be nice to be able to access /xml/v2 within collectd and /xml/v3
elsewhere), but the right configure options will at least keep collectd
happy for now.
