I see...  Too bad, there is an updated ninja for that distro.  But 
anyway, CentOS 7 is going to be dropped soon from the list of supported 
distros 
(20210514120415.1368922-1-berrange@redhat.com/">https://patchew.org/QEMU/20210514120415.1368922-1-berrange@redhat.com/) 
so switching to bullseys is probably a good idea.
