This is ugly. How about dropping support for platforms which can't use
new enough libraries rather than band-aiding the code?
Nobody in their right mind would use upstream software with very old
distros.
We still target RHEL6 as a platform for libvirt to build on and as such
people reasonably expect tests to pass when built there. It is mildly
ugly but not a serious maint burden to us long term.
