The dependency on app-emulation/xen-tools should not needed anymore. Reproducible: Always
What changed?
The xen headers were imported in the grub project directly.
Back in 2014 when you added support for xen to the 2.02 beta2 ebuild [1], the Xen headers required to build weren't yet part of the grub source, therefore the dependency was required. With Grub 2.02 beta3, the headers were actually included [3]. I just build-tested grub-2.04 with GRUB_PLATFORMS="xen" without having xen-tools installed and it creates the same binaries as on our Xen machines. So technically there is nothing new, the "change" happened almost 5 years ago. ;) [1] https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo-gitmig-20150809-draft/commit/7fe9763f7d29ff3641a5cad9007d571350cadcbd [2] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=e07badcc31babb24ace4f96444bc484502427d3a
