No, stdout is quite risky. Unfortunately using printf as a debugging is too used.

I found a bash solution (at least supported in Linux):

SPICE_WORKER_RECORD_FILENAME=>(gzip > /tmp/spice-record.$$.gz) exec /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.bin "$@"

yes... quite strange syntax but works and don't create a fifo but a pipe. I would ask how portable it is.
Looks like one of the feature that is not supported by all bash. At least we should check if supported by
all bash-es we support (RHEL5/6/7).

Well... found some time to try with RHEL 5.11, RHEL 6... the bash syntax works! So now that I master
this new feature I can ditch my patch!
I can change emulator from virsh and use a script to change the environment in this way.

Yes, zlib is disabled with #if, I would remove it entirely.
