[Bug 823711] Re: libvirt version 0.9.2-4ubuntu8 failed to build on armel

[Jani Monoses]

Most (all?) tests fail with or because of this message (it makes the test output different than expected)
"Failed to read classid file: Object not found" 
It is generated by libnl3 which is a dependency of libvirt and emitted when /etc/libnl/classid is not found. Creating this file makes the testsuite run successfully on ARM.
However this file does not exist on x86 either and there it is not a problem so the difference is that on ARM libvirt tests look for it when it should not (strace logs of ARM shows that indeed it is stat64()-d unsuccessfully, whereas on x86 it does not appear in the logs at all).

The bottom of lib/route/classid.c in the package libnl3 has

static void __init classid_init(void)
{
    int err, i;

    for (i = 0; i < CLASSID_NAME_HT_SIZ; i++)
        nl_init_list_head(&tbl_name[i]);

    if ((err = rtnl_tc_read_classid_file()) < 0)
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to read classid file: %s\n", nl_geterror(err));
}

This __init function is maybe invoked on ARM but not on other archs and
causes the different behaviour.
