No, this is correct behaviour.  qemud/libvirtd is not a binary - it is
a mere shell script which calls into qemud/.libs/libvirtd. This is all
part of the libtool build process.

You are mistaken - qemud/libvirtd is just a shell script wrapper.
The actual binaries are in the .libs directory.

Run  'make distclean' and then start again from 'configure'
