There another problem when you make the libvirt src on the arch of itanium, you need modify the function clone().
       On IA-64, a different system call is used:
       int __clone2(int (*fn)(void *),  void *child_stack_base,
                    size_t stack_size, int flags, void *arg, ...
                    /* pid_t *pid, struct user_desc *tls, pid_t *ctid */ );
       The  __clone2() system call operates in the same way as clone(), except
       that child_stack_base points to the lowest address of the child's stack
       area,  and  stack_size  specifies  the  size of the stack pointed to by
       child_stack_base.

The function clone() is used in /src/lxc_container.c.
