Here's a more complete answer.

In your libguestfs source directory, create two files as follows:

(a) localconfigure should contain:

-------
source localenv

# qemu is too old (< 1.0) so the qemu test will fail.
export vmchannel_test=no

./autogen.sh \
  --prefix /usr \
  --disable-ruby \
  -C \
  "$@"
-------

(b) localenv should contain:

-------
export SUPERMIN=/usr/bin/febootstrap3
export SKIP_TEST_LAUNCH_RACE_PL=1
-------

Make sure both files are executable:

chmod +x localconfigure localenv

Instead of using './configure [args...]' use './localconfigure [args...]'
