Bugzilla Bug 143999

I'm trying build xen in 32bit system with 64 bit kernel booted (ia32
emulation), but it fails with errors:

command:

solves this problem

xen-tools have the same problem

Sven, are you in a position to duplicate this with your amd64 hardware? I only
have x86.

Sure, I just need to set up a 32bit domain, but I'm pretty sure I don't need to
do it. The xen packages use uname -m to find the architecture, which in case of
a 64bit kernel will be x86_64, for which a 32bit system can't compile code.

Pretty simple and straightforward fix is to force XEN_TARGET_ARCH to the
correct value, as tonich did on the command line. I'm thinking about code like
the following:

--- xen-3.0.2.ebuild.orig       2006-08-16 06:48:16.000000000 +0000
+++ xen-3.0.2.ebuild    2006-08-16 07:03:36.000000000 +0000

+                       export XEN_TARGET_ARCH="x86_64"
+               else
+                       die "Unsupported architecture!"
+               fi
+       fi
+}

 src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        # if the user *really* wants to use their own custom-cflags, let them

Another thing might be to integrate complete cross-compile support into the
packages. I haven't tried to cross-compile the beast on x86 for amd64, which
might be worth a shot.

Fixed in app-emulation/xen-3.0.2 without a bump, since the other change
intended for -r1 (#147876) was scrapped.

Fixed in app-emulation/xen-tools-3.0.2-r4, thanks.
