[libvirt] test failures with -Bsymbolic-functions on Ubuntu

[Claudio Bley]

Hi.

I'm trying to build an Ubuntu package of the latest liberty release in
order to deploy it on a few different machines.

Unfortunately, 1 of the 93 tests failed:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
TEST: virnetserverclienttest
      libvirt:  error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
!                                        1   FAIL
FAIL: virnetserverclienttest
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently, Ubuntu is passing the -Bsymbolic-functions flag to the
linker which causes the pre-loading and mocking of the
virEventAddTimeout function of libvirt.so to fail.

Other tests print error messages as well, but they won't fail.

Now, I'm wondering whether there is a way to prevent passing the
-Bsymbolic-functions flag to the linker when compiling the library,
but force re-linking using this flag when installing using libtool?

I'd appreciate any other ideas as well of course. Thanks!

Claudio
