Make sure you can recompile the source RPM normally. You *must not* recompile any RPMs, and especially not the libguestfs RPMs, as root. Once you are able to recompile the libguestfs RPM normally, you should now examine the list of patches in the libguestfs.spec file. In the RHEL 7.2 version of the spec file, there are 236 patches. The patch which you want is called `XXXX-RHEL-7-Reject-use-of-libguestfs-winsupport-features-.patch' (for some number `XXXX', which changes with each version). You should just be able to comment out this patch line, and recompile. You might also need to modify the `Release:' line, in order to give your package a distinctive build number so you know whether you are using the official package or your patched package. Red Hat won't support any packages that you modify in this way.
