3) I've tried to update Gentoo live ebuild, but it failed to compile:

The libvirt-9999_build/src/access dir doesn't exist (I'm surprised it wasn't created automatically by autotools since src/ was). I'll have to investigate further.
I hit this problem when making the RPM uses a build!=src dir originally. I can't recall what I did to fix it though - it was something annoyingly stupid though IIRC. Like a parallel build happening when it shouldn't or something like that.
I've identified the issue. It's ebuild/eclass who disables dependency-tracking whenever possible. Gentoo developers claim it's for faster configure (because by default, gentoo does in-tree builds) and they are right. But what dependency tracking has to do with creating directories is beyond me.
Ahhhh yes, we did that for the RPM build too in commit f96395e78eaccffbf128336382c74b1250f04032 having to pass --enable-dependancy-tracking to override from RPM does by default in %configure.
