I realized actually I don't need to compile QEMU driver because the libvirt client is using Remote driver to talk with libvirtd and then libvirtd will call QUME driver in KVM hypervisor. So I removed the "--with-qume" and trying compiling again only with "--with-esx". This time the error happens on la symbols as followings:

I've posted a patch for this, copying you on the mail.

With current GIT these symbols are no longer exported. I see you were
compiling a old 0.9.9 release of libvirt. Please retry building the
current GIT release instead - we're not doing fixes for 0.9.9.
