Here's the error from valgrind:

__dcigettext is a glibc function. Sounds to me like valgrind is being
noisy about a recent glibc code change; this is likely a case of a
missing valgrind suppression file, and less likely an actual glibc bug.
Apparently __FUNCTION__ is deprecated[1].
Most likely a red herring. We already '#define __FUNCTION__ __func__'
for any other C99 compliant compiler, so now it's just a global cleanup
to decide whether to consistently use gcc style or C99 style.
That's as far as I've got for today. Just letting people
know ...
I'll see if I can reproduce it. But since you were testing rawhide, my
guess is that it is a rawhide glibc/valgrind mismatch and not an actual
libvirt shortcoming.
