[libvirt] libvirt cannot be built with -Werror on RHEL6RC(x86_64)
My steps to build libvirt:
1. # export CFLAGS=-Werror
2. # ./autogen.sh
3. # make dist && rpmbuild --nodeps --define "_sourcedir `pwd`" -ba

gettext() returns char *, and we try to convert it to int. The size of pointer
and int is different, and gcc will give a warning. I build it with -Werror, so
the test program can not be built, and NLS is disabled. But We only install
translations when NLS is enabled.
