As additional info, after doing a "touch NEWS" just to get it
past this point, it then fails with:

  make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/include'
  (cd src && make  top_distdir=../libvirt-0.9.6 distdir=../libvirt-0.9.6/src \
     am__remove_distdir=: am__skip_length_check=: am__skip_mode_fix=: distdir)
  make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src'
  make[2]: *** No rule to make target `probes.h', needed by `distdir'.  Stop.
  make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src'
  make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt'
  make: *** [rpm] Error 2

This is a newly setup RHEL 6.1 x64 VM, with the "Development Tools" yum
package group installed, plus minimal -devel packages to let configure
succeed.

Any ideas?

Regards and best wishes,
