  Hum, weird, I tried to o  a "make rpm" with that patch and got
a linking error due to multiple definitions coming from gnulib:

    CCLD   libvirt_lxc
    CCLD   libvirt.la
    copying selected object files to avoid basename conflicts...
    ../gnulib/lib/.libs/libgnu.a(areadlink.o): In function `areadlink':
    /u/veillard/rpms/BUILD/libvirt-0.8.4/gnulib/lib/areadlink.c:58:
    multiple definition of `areadlink'
    ./.libs/libvirt_driver_phyp.a(areadlink.o):/u/veillard/rpms/BUILD/libvirt-0.8.4/gnulib/lib/areadlink.c:58:
    first defined here
    ../gnulib/lib/.libs/libgnu.a(base64.o): In function `base64_encode':
    /u/veillard/rpms/BUILD/libvirt-0.8.4/gnulib/lib/base64.c:79:
    multiple definition of `base64_encode'

So patches 1-3 look fine to me but that one seems to still have a
problem,

Daniel
