With a --disable-guest-agent ? :-) (which is not used under xen)
Or just a --localstatedir=/var. I've seen localstatedir used only once
in the QEMU build system, and it's only used when the guest agent is
enabled, and it's only used to create /var/run.

I suppose --localstatedir would be the best option here.
