Your post does not mention binutils version, but I get the same error with binutils-2.36.1; binutils-2.35.2 is fine.

This is a known binutils behavior change that breaks building seabios (the part of xen-tools that fails):

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26047
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26223
https://marc.info/?l=binutils&w=2&r=1&s=seabios+link&q=b

Xen has added various patches recently to support binutils-2.36; maybe those are included in the just-released 4.14.2, I have not checked. In the meantime, maybe existing xen-tools versions' ebuilds should have their DEPENDS updated to indicate they are not compatible with binutils:2.36 ?

xen-{,tools-}4.14.2 from https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/20621 works for me, thanks hydrapolic. Haven't tried 4.15.x yet because of other cross-dependencies.

Thanks for testing, glad it works for you.
