Yeah, you'll want to clone the upstream git repository using

  git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git

You'll then be able create your development branch based on
1.3.4 with

  git branch devel v1.3.4
  git checkout devel

Once you've done that, 'make syntax-check' will work.

Please note that, unless you have very specific needs, you
should base your development on the master branch instead
of the 1.3.4 release: among other things, that's a
requirement for having your changes merged upstream.
