See $URL and bug 235770.
Comment 1 Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-26 19:48:53 UTC
This bug should have been filed as UNCONFIRMED.
I'm unable to find the offending file in xen-tools and I'm unable to emerge xen itself (sed: -e expression #6, char 930: unterminated `s' command).
Might be related to the fact that I emerged it with --nodeps.

rbu, can you check? You're maintainer anyway :p
Comment 2 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-31 18:04:53 UTC
The xen-tools package contains the file ( /tools/ioemu/target-i386-dm/qemu-dm.debug ), and that indeed creates those files insecurely. However, neither the Makefiles not the ebuilds install this file.
