One of the libvirt tests (conftest) has been segfaulting for some time

Generally, this is not an issue. Autoconf tests INTENTIONALLY try to
probe for broken systems, in order to work around brokenness, so a
segfaulting conftest during ./configure just says that things are
probing as expected. About the only thing that could be done to avoid a
segfault during ./configure is fixing the underlying broken system that
the probe was detecting in the first place, but that's more likely to be
a glibc or kernel fix, not a libvirt fix.
Isn't it a bit strange that it is broken under v1.0.3-maint but not
under v1.0.2-maint? The underlying system is the same.
