On Debian/Ubuntu, one of the libraries libvirt (indirectly) links with exports a symbol named 'base64_encode'. This takes precedence over GNULIB's base64_encode function during linking. Unfortunately they of course have different API semantics. To avoid this problem use a few #defines in config.h to rename the GNULIB provided function to have a 'libvirt_gl_' prefix
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.
