NACK, CentOS 6 is a supported platform and we need to make sure
we continue to build on there. Working around these compiler warnings
is not hard.
I know it is supported but frankly I've never tried running git libvirt
there. Do we even know it still works? Otherwise our claim is just an
empty promise that we do compile cleanly there.
