Unfortunately m4/guestfs-libraries.m4 is using AC_CHECK_LIB
instead of
PKG_CHECK_MODULES, so you cannot just set PKG_CONFIG_* environment
variables to pick up the right libmagic.pc (which is a bug in
libguestfs).
Take a look at m4/guestfs-libraries.m4 and change the AC_CHECK_LIB to
PKG_CHECK_MODULES, following examples of other package tests in that
file, then re-run "autoconf".
