Patching qemu is unrelated to building libvirt, and the fact that patch
merely warned you about stripping CRs shouldn't affect the qemu you
build, nor cause problem you were seeing with libvirt.
You know, it would be nice if the libvmi folks could upstream their
patch instead of making users have to apply a downstream patch and
self-build. There have been some conversations on the qemu list lately
about what it would take. But it is unrelated to the topic at hand.

You still didn't show what arguments to pass to ./configure. The problem
you are hitting is because your configure arguments differ from those of
the pre-built distro libvirt, and when both are installed, attempts to
locate subsidiary files (whether .so or other subsidiary files) are
finding the files from the other installation.
But I don't use Ubuntu enough to know what to recommend. Which is why
posting this on the list, where other users might be able to chime in,
is always a better idea than posting to just me.
