  Try rpmbuild -ta libvirt-0.9.11.tar.gz

"make rpm" is more for people working out of a git checkout, ou may
end up with missing dependancies leading to a failure to "make dist".

rpmbuild may raise a number of missing dependencies that you may
have to supply locally first before actually making a build.
