Actually, I just pushed this patch with the 'static' fix and the
following updated wording:

If you encounter any failing tests, the VIR_TEST_DEBUG environment
variable may provide extra information to debug the failures. Larger
values of VIR_TEST_DEBUG may provide larger amounts of information:

  VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 make check    (or)
  VIR_TEST_DEBUG=2 make check

Didn't think it was really major enough to warrant a second posting.

Thanks,
Cole
