Hi Team,
I am working here with our build infra team to get this library compiled
for QNX. We will not be compiling on QNX-machine but use cross compiler.

While going through 'configure' file, I realised it uses gcc compiler and
links all related libraries. But here internally we use icc compiler for
x86-machines. Do you have a configure file which I can use for icc i.e.;
'icc.10.2.014b'compiler ?

When I tried using 'gcc.c4.2.1-p2' for trial purpose, which is available
to us, I hit the error

=======
checking for gnutls_handshake in -lgnutls... no
configure: error: You must install the GnuTLS library in order to compile
and run libvirt
======


Is there a option in 'configure' file which I can use to bypass this error
?
