  Indeed, the current git head works fine again for me, thanks a lot
for chasing this :-)

  So I made an second release candidate available at:

ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.8-rc2.tar.gz

along with rpms, I also tagged git with it.
  Hopefully the builds on BSD and Windows should be fixed, it would
be good if it could be tested on OsX and since there was a build done
last month on Android, I wonder if this could be done again [1].

  thanks everybody !

[1] maybe we should setup some cross compilation testing like for
    cygwin...
