I believe so.

libvirt adds '-sandbox on' to all VMs it runs, unless the option is not
available.

Some users wanted to run libvirt with QEMUs without libseccomp,
which resulted in the following QEMU commit.

commit 0dd693ef1f15b6e9c4ba8b0118663e10338077cf
     sandbox: disable -sandbox if CONFIG_SECCOMP undefined

While using this option won't work if CONFIG_SECCOMP is off,
it should not show up in q-c-l-o so libvirt won't even try to use it.


If I'm reading
  commit 90835c2b8127406615785a9d4348ffdf3c813c8a
      seccomp: convert to meson
correctly, then the whole softmmu/qemu-seccomp.c file is only compiled
if seccomp was found.
