Libqblock was placed in new directory ./libqblock, libtool will build
dynamic library there, source files of block layer remains in ./block.
So block related source code will generate 3 sets of binary, first is old
ones used in qemu, second and third are non PIC and PIC ones in ./libqblock.
  GCC compiler flag visibility=hidden was used with special macro, to export
only symbols that was marked as PUBLIC.
  For testing, make check-libqblock will build binaries and execute it, make
clean or make check-clean will delete generated binaries.
  By default this library will be built and tested, out of tree building is
supported.
  Header files added in configure due to install-libqblock from out of tree
build need these them.

Use $(SRC_PATH) instead in the install rules.

Why make this conditional?  (Rather, it should be conditional on the
presence of libtool).

Also, perhaps a separate --enable/disable-libqblock switch is better.
It simplifies testing, at least.

This should be done by Makefile.objs already.

Are all of these really needed?  (In fact, after some of the recent
changes none of these should be needed).

Not portable.  Please use libtool to link the program:

LTLINK = $(call quiet-command,$(LIBTOOL) --mode=link --quiet --tag=CC
$(CC) $(QEMU_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(sort $(1)) $(LIBS),"lt
LINK $(TARGET_DIR)$@")

and then

$(check-libqblock-y): %$(EXESUF): %.o
	$(call LTLINK,$^)

> +tests/libqblock/%.o: QEMU_CFLAGS:= $(subst -fPIE,-fPIC, $(QEMU_CFLAGS))
> +tests/libqblock/%.o: QEMU_CFLAGS:= $(subst -DPIE,-DPIC, $(QEMU_CFLAGS))

Why?

A hint: if you have to do something that is not done anywhere else in
the tree, do not do it.

> +
> +check-libqblock-y = tests/libqblock/check-libqblock-qcow2$(EXESUF)

Please use something like check-libqblock-$(CONFIG_LIBQBLOCK) so that it
works even if libqblock is not compiled in.

Also, I'm not sure we need a completely separate subdirectory for one
file only.  You can just use

$(check-libqblock-y): QEMU_INCLUDES += ...

Please call it from the install target (through a dependency).  Also
remember to make these targets phony.

Or perhaps just trim it down.  Moving it to Makefile.objs is another
idea, but please keep it as small as possible.

They cannot be part of a dynamic library, but they sure can be linked
with one.  QEMU itself is PIE and linked with SDL, gnutls, etc.
