That's done in meson.build when you're building from source. Look for
"optional_programs".
Noted. Thanks.

I don't think the problem is what is being suggested in that bug.
Yes, it is.
follow the symlink from /sbin/ebtables to (probably)
/etc/alternatives/ebtables > [..]
This sounds more like SUSE has some sort of special off-brand
alternative that doesn't understand all valid ebtables commands
openSUSE
Tumbleweed now uses libalternatives for ebtables (see my
comment#2) and thus
/sbin/ebtables was linked to /usr/bin/alts. Yes, something's broken
there and I was looking for a work-around.
Anyway, I think you'd be better off fixing the problem at the
source
rather than trying to make some special local build of libvirt to
work around the problem.
IMHO a libvirtd.conf option would be great to avoid
relying on this
alternatives stuff.
Ciao, Michael.
