Hmm these symbols are symbolic #defines, so will not show up in the
resulting binary, so they should not cause the issues I have in mind.
This would cause an explicit message when trying to start qemu.

Maybe you should just file an ubuntu bug about the crash, and they may
tell you how to gather more info if they need it. I don't know if there
is a -dbg package or not for spice-server on ubuntu (but I could not
find one after a quick look).
