Well, this is awkward:

  https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt/job/libvirt-master-build-website/124/systems=libvirt-centos-6/console

We don't actually build libvirt on CentOS 6 anymore, just the
documentation and release archives, ie. what's necessary to keep
libvirt.org (which is still on that OS) running; still, after this
patch the configure step will very understandably fail, and I can't
imagine things going over much better on the actual live instance
of the website: no nightlies[1] today, I'm afraid!

I'm likewise afraid I don't have any bright ideas on how to solve
this, so any input on the matter will be very much appreciated.


[1] Assuming anyone actually uses those.
