libvirt is supported in Freescale SDK 1.4 in the Yocto-built rootfs, so I
would expect anything that uses libvirt interfaces to work there. But, we
haven't specifically tested libguestfs.
However, it looks like you may not be using the SDK Yocto rootfs, but a
ubuntu rootfs. In that case there may be a issue with the ubuntu libvirt.
There are some patches that we apply to libvirt that you will find only in the
Freescale SDK...you can find them if you look at the libvirt Yocto
recipe.
