Daniel P. Berrangé e603efb6ec gitlab: force dwarf4 format for debuginfo in Fedora rawhide
Fedora 34 rawhide has pulled in a new GCC 11 build which now
defaults to dwarf5 format. This format is not compatible with
the pdwtags program used in our test suite to validate the
RPC files.

We have no need for debuginfo in CI except for pdwtags,
so the simplest short term fix is to force the older dwarf
version in the hope that a fixed dwarves release will
arrive before Fedora 34 is released, or GCC 11 becomes more
widespread. Eventually we might need to figure out a way to
probe for compatibility but for now, we'll hope that any
distro with GCC 11 will be able to have a fixed dwarves too.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
