Odd that they'd all fail for you.
Only one fails for me: libvirtd-pool
and daemon-conf is mistakenly skipped due to use of ancient
automake-1.9.

As you know, that's because you're building with RHEL5's ancient
version of automake.
That is a no-no (for many reasons) but easy to work around.
IMHO, no one should never build using such old autotools,
but I do know how we're currently constrained. no choice.
Your change to tests/Makefile.am is fine.

Once I worked around automake-1.9's lack of abs_top_builddir,
daemon-conf passed.
What error did you see?
I want to keep the diffs strict. While sometimes more work,
I've found that it's worthwhile because it helps detect unrelated bugs.

Didn't fail for me.
Provide more detail (e.g., actual warnings) and I'll be happy
to find a solution we can both accept.

It's easy to avoid that difference.
With the following, it passes for me:

While I like the idea of your new print-xml option,
I don't want to decreasing coverage.
If lack of QEMU is the problem, the solution is simply to skip the test.

NACK to removing this test.
When built without qemu, this test should simply be skipped.
Removing test coverage (no matter how much you dislike the
current form) should be done only as a last resort.
Just do what daemon-conf does:
grep '^#define WITH_QEMU 1' $CONFIG_HEADER > /dev/null ||
skip_test_ "configured without QEMU support"
