Created attachment 572112 [details, diff] Add missing --enable-rombios configure parameter xen-tools-4.12.0 adds --with-system-ipxe=${PREFIX}/usr/share/ipxe to the parameters passed to configure. However, it appears to be an error to specify --with-system-ipxe without also specifying --enable-rombios: # ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/xen-tools/xen-tools-4.12.0.ebuild configure [snip] === configuring in tools (/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-tools-4.12.0/work/xen-4.12.0/tools) configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --disable-option-checking '--prefix=/usr' '--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' '--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var/lib' '--docdir=/usr/share/doc/xen-tools-4.12.0' '--htmldir=/usr/share/doc/xen-tools-4.12.0/html' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--disable-werror' '--disable-xen' '--enable-tools' '--enable-docs' '--with-system-ipxe=/usr/share/ipxe' '--enable-pam' '--disable-xenapi' '--disable-ovmf' '--disable-ocamltools' '--with-xenstored=xenstored' '--with-system-qemu=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64' '--disable-qemu-traditional' 'build_alias=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.

Thanks for the report. I've opened a PR that will completely avoid building ipxe/rombios in your case. If you wish, give it a try and report back, feedback is appreciated.

Since ipxe depends on rombios, make it and explicit USE. By default, qemu, rombios and ipxe are enabled in xen so enable then in Gentoo too, with hvm as it's needed for rombios/ipxe.
