You're not making any sense here. You don't need a ppc host, to build
qemu-system-ppc. All host architectures can build all QEMU targets,
you're not restricted to matching host & qemu target, with the exception
of KVM.
i wrote above i can't build openbios-ppc which required by qemu etc...so
i can't build libvirt:-(

This only creates a bridge on the host. No guest is connected to this
bridge unless you configure it that way. So merely having the config
does not affect existing guests
ok. i don't know since yesterday i wasn't more time for this, but until
now there was no such interface in guest as virbr0 and after testing the
new packages i have. may be there are other reason for this but that
also comes from one of these new packages.
