The problem is not the def file, but the libvirt.syms file.  But the
Makefile dependency is:

libvirt.syms: libvirt_public.syms $(USED_SYM_FILES) \
		$(top_builddir)/config.status

which includes libvirt_access.syms, yet a verbose make shows that the
failure is:

...
printf 'global:\n\n' >>libvirt.syms-tmp && \
cat ../../src/libvirt_private.syms libvirt_access.syms
libvirt_access_qemu.syms libvirt_access_lxc.syms
../../src/libvirt_esx.syms   ../../src/libvirt_vmx.syms
../../src/libvirt_libssh2.syms  >>libvirt.syms-tmp && \
printf '\n\nlocal:\n*;\n\n};' >>libvirt.syms-tmp && \
chmod a-w libvirt.syms-tmp && \
mv libvirt.syms-tmp libvirt.syms
cat: libvirt_access.syms: No such file or directory
cat: libvirt_access_qemu.syms: No such file or directory
cat: libvirt_access_lxc.syms: No such file or directory

so it may be a VPATH problem.  In fact, looking at that line, look at
how libvirt_access.syms is listed locally, while
../../src/libvirt_esx.syms is listed in another directory.  I'm still
playing with it...
