With current master building virt-v2v succeeds, thanks!
I think we still have an issue with new checkout, having to delete common/
and update the submodule.
Tried this again with clean checkout.
Complete instructions for building virt-v2v in the first time:
git clone https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v.git
cd virt-v2v
git submodule init
git submodule update
./autogen.sh
make
rm po-docs/podfiles
make -C po-docs update-po
./run virt-v2v --version
virt-v2v 1.41.7
Looks like autogen.sh and bootstrap need update for common submodule, since
they check and handle only gnulib status.
