No bug report on gitlab will ever be read, see yours in #1 ;) Read this page
for more infos on how to report a bug: https

Building only static libs looks fishy to me... what is the reason behing that?

virDomainLifecycleTypeToString is declared by the VIR_ENUM_DECL macro
and implemented by VIR_ENUM_IMPL one. The VIR_ENUM_IMPL for that type
can be found in both tools/virsh-domain.c and src/conf/domain_conf.c,
hence the error.

I'm not sure virsh should be built with static libvirt libs at all.
