One of the libvirt tests (conftest) has been segfaulting for some time with no indication of a test failure other than a message in syslog. I verified this by building libvirt-1.0.3-1 with mock.
Generally, this is not an issue. Autoconf tests INTENTIONALLY try to probe for broken systems, in order to work around brokenness, so a segfaulting conftest during ./configure just says that things are probing as expected. About the only thing that could be done to avoid a segfault during ./configure is fixing the underlying broken system that the probe was detecting in the first place, but that's more likely to be a glibc or kernel fix, not a libvirt fix. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
