Libvirt compiles fine on aarch64. You will need to configure with --without-dtrace as systemtap tracepoints are pretty broken, giving lots of strange compile-time errors/link failures in both libvirt and qemu. The test suite fails, see attachment. Note this is all running under qemu-arm64 userspace emulation[1], so certain things are expected to be a bit different. In particular, any aarch64 binary which the test suite runs is actually run under the qemu-arm64 interpreter (using binfmt). I'm guessing this explains the extra file descriptor in some tests. Also qemu intercepts system calls and thunks them into host system calls (an x86-64 host in this case), and its support for IPv6 seems shaky at best. Rich.
