This may be the problem. Libvirt needs setns() syscall as of 1.2.2 which
may not exist in your custom kernel. Or maybe you have old
kernel-headers package so the libvirt's configure script doesn't see the
syscall.

From this it seems like glic is wrapping the syscall, so a glibc update
may solve the issue. If that's the case we may need to update our
libvirt.spec.in to reflect that.
