When linking qemu-ga under some configuration (when gthread-2.0.pc doesn't have -pthread, as happening atm with meson build), you may have this linking issue:
/usr/bin/ld: libqemuutil.a(qemu-thread-posix.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_setname_np@@GLIBC_2.12' /usr/lib64/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line Make sure qemu-ga links with the pthread library, by adding correct flags to libs_qga.
