with USE=binary enabled, the sys-firmware/seabios package will use pre-built binary, and with USE=system-seabios enabled xen-tools will use this binary, and the result hvm domU fail to start, see attached log. but again, with USE=-binary disabled (build sys-firmware/seabios[-binary]), the xen-tools make hvm domU (the guest vm) work fine. is it possible to check if CONFIG_XEN is enabled for the prebuilt seabios binary? since I'm sure the sys-firmware/seabios[-binary] version will make CONFIG_XEN enabled. Reproducible: Always

I have slightly different log with this report (I'm using xen-4.6.0 here) http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-11/msg01588.html
I'da have thought a xen herd member would know how to assign a bug of our own package.
Is this still reproducible with the current firmware versions? I'll close as needinfo for the time being. Ps.: Fixed assignee.
