Okay, I can reproduce the problem even with the latest libvirt release 0.10.2. I just added a workaround the msys_setup repo on github. So you should retry and build the patched version of libvirt 0.10.2. I also proposed the patch here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg00378.html 2012/10/9 xuanmao_001 <xuanmao_001@163.com>:
Hi: the hypervisor is kvm. the URI: qemu+tcp://root@hostname/system 0.9.11 was also like this error.

Hi, Eric: I compiled libvirt-0.9.8 source code with the msys environment on windows xp. the compiltion was successed. but when I connect the remote host using virsh.exe, it occured error like: error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor error: Unable to set close-on-exec flag: No such file or directory
Is there something wrong? give me some help, thanks!
Can you be more specific here?
To what hypervisor did you try to connect?
What URI did you use?
Why didn't you use the latest libvirt version supported by msys_setup (assuming that you used msys_setup), which is 0.9.11?
