Re: [libvirt] Likely build race, "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvirt"

tl;dr:

I think there is a bug in libvirt's build system which, with low probability, causes a build failure containing this message: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvirt

Complete build logs of two attempts:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/123096/build-i386-libvirt/6...

I have run a number of attempts. Out of 5 more, 1 succeeded. So out of a total of 7 attempts, 1 succeeded. This repro rate is an IMO excellent opportunity to debug this race :-). Ian.
