build: fix configure detection of if_bridge.h on RHEL 6
A fresh checkout on a RHEL 6 machine with these packages: kernel-headers-2.6.32-405.el6.x86_64 glibc-2.12-1.128.el6.x86_64 failed to configure with this message: checking for linux/if_bridge.h... no configure: error: You must install kernel-headers in order to compile libvirt with QEMU or LXC support Digging in config.log, we see that the problem is identical to what we fixed earlier in commit d12c2811: configure:98831: checking for linux/if_bridge.h configure:98853: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 In file included from /usr/include/linux/if_bridge.h:17, from conftest.c:559: /usr/include/linux/in6.h:31: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr' /usr/include/linux/in6.h:48: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6' /usr/include/linux/in6.h:56: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq' configure:98860: $? = 1 I had not hit it earlier because I was using incremental builds, where config.cache had shielded me from the kernel-headers breakage. * configure.ac (if_bridge.h): Avoid conflicting type definitions.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
