The build system for libvirt correctly detects the location of blkid
using PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. The file blkid.pc states
that the include flags should be: 'Cflags: -I${includedir}/blkid' but
libvirt searches for blkid.h inside ${includedir}/blkid/blkid, which is
wrong. Until now, the compilation for libvirt succeeded because of pure
luck, as it had -I/usr/include as a CFLAG. This issue was faced while
compiling libvirt on Ubuntu 16.04.2 with bare minimum dev packages and a
custom compiled blkid kept in a non-standard $prefix.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
