Hello! I assume the build failure is caused by the parallel build. Attached is my (untested) attempt at trying to fix it, by adding a Makefile target dependency on the vapi to make sure libvirt-gconfig-1.0.vapi is not built in parallel with libvirt-gobject-1.0.vapi since apparently the latter needs the former when building.
Regards, Andreas Henriksson
