The libvirt.so library has far too many library deps to allow linking against it from setuid programs. Those libraries can do stuff in __attribute__((constructor) functions which is not setuid safe. The virt-login-shell needs to link directly against individual files that it uses, with all library deps turned off except for libxml2 and libselinux. Create a libvirt-setuid-rpc-client.la library which is linked to by virt-login-shell. A config-post.h file allows this library to disable all external deps except libselinux and libxml2.

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.
