Created attachment 90701 [details] My kernel config I don't think it's got anything to do with my config, but i'm attaching in case
Looks like a gcc problem... what version are you running?

James, please post the output of "emerge --info". There is an almost identical bug report upstream (http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=660) - the only difference is it's filed against 2.6.16.13 instead of 2.6.16.18
I've replicated this problem on a few up-to-date x86 machines, and having inspected the code I can say that blktap.c is definately doing the wrong thing (ie. missing the required third argument to xenbus_exists). James, if you unset CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP you should be fine. Of course, without the front-end, there's little point building the backend driver, so you might also want to unset CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP_BE . While this could be resolved as UPSTREAM, we're still left with users potentially being bitten and reporting duplicate bugs. Perhaps we can remove blktap, which appears to be broken and has been removed from xen-unstable (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-changelog/2006-06/msg00137.html). Alternatively, a least-effort approach could be adding a warning to the ebuild about blktap, but I think we'll find that some users will miss/ignore it and file duplicate bugs anyway.
As requested, attaching --info. I'm also going to try your idea, will get back to you on that.

Alright, I've rebuilt, unsetting those two values in the .config. Now, It prompted me with a y/n for each related module, i've never had a makefile do that to me before, but it all built fine. Thank you.
This kernel is long gone and current kernels appear to be fine, closing.
