Maybe that's the actual problem.

I don't think anything you wrote here really justifies the change below.
It hints that the problem is probably elsewhere.

The actual output for the lazy:

make[2]: Entering directory '/tmp/build/src'
  GEN      util/virkeymaps.h
/bin/sh: util/virkeymaps.h: No such file or directory
  GEN      locking/lock_protocol.h

It looks like the reason for the failure is that this is run right away
so the shell can't do the redirect.

By the way, a simple "mkdir /tmp/test_libvirt/src/util" is sufficient to
make the build pass.

It doesn't seem right to do stuff in the source dir when building.
Remember it might be read-only.

NACK to this approach.

Should we perpahs create the directory if it doesn't exist in the
process of generating it?
