NACK, we shouldn't be duplicating syscall definitions. There should
be AC_CHECK_FUNCS([setns]) (instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE() for the
syscall) and having with_lxc = "yes" and ac_cv_func_setns != "yes"
should result in an error.
The only problem with this might be that on systems with older glibc
(and there is plenty of them) libvirt will fail to build / miss this
feature. And it's not that the kernel doesn't support the namesapces.
But let me see if I can get some ACKs on that approach you're suggesting.
