In building the libvirt-0.9.11.2 stable tarball, I saw these errors:

tar:
libvirt-0.9.11.2/tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-sysfs-test-1/cpu/cpu0/topology/thread_siblings_list:
file name is too long (max 99); not dumped
tar:
libvirt-0.9.11.2/tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-sysfs-test-1/cpu/cpu0/topology/physical_package_id:
file name is too long (max 99); not dumped
tar:
libvirt-0.9.11.2/tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-sysfs-test-1/cpu/cpu1/topology/thread_siblings_list:

tar:
libvirt-0.9.11.2/tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-sysfs-test-1/cpu/cpu1/topology/physical_package_id:
file name is too long (max 99); not dumped
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

As indicated the files were not in the tarball.

Can we just update the tar format in configure or does that come with caveats?

Thanks,
Cole
