} This is building on a very recent NetBSD-current w clang, but pkgsrc 
} pulls in gcc for some reason when building xen.

     Yes, why does it force the use of GCC 4.8.  This means when
building on -current, it pulls in the GCC package.  It really should
not be doing this.

     I'm also curious why you set MAINTAINER when there are a bunch
of us that semi-regularly work on the Xen packages (I imported two
versions of Xen).
