Looking at nm output for libcacard.so, I did not see symbols that were
obviously related to glusterfs there. However, at build time, libcacard
ld command line gets a lot of -lxx, including glusterfs libraries.
libcacard is a sub-package of qemu, so I suspect what's happening is
it gets linked with all the libraries qemu needs.

This patch seems to help there and get rid of the extra libraries in ldd
output (did not try an rpm build to check the deps there).
