It is a broken enum declaration in the header libvirt-qemu.h:

enum {
    VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_MONITOR_COMMAND_DEFAULT = 0,
    VIR_DOMAIN_QEMU_MONITOR_COMMAND_HMP     = (1 << 0), /* cmd is in HMP */
} virDomainQemuMonitorCommandFlags;


There is a missing 'typedef' keyword there before 'enum', so instead of
defining a type, it is defining a variable :-(
