To make xen-tools building out-of-the box, NetBSD needs the following
improvements:
libc:
It misses the POSIX API posix_memalign(3)
I need this to make tools/blktap in xen-tools building
libc (amd64 only):
/usr/include/i386/* is missing. When an application does
#include <stdint.h>
and is compiled with gcc -m32, then the compiler must get
/usr/include/i386/stdint.h. Linking against -lc should link
against the 32bit libc, of course.
With this done, it will be possible to build the xen-tools firmware
which is required to launch HVM guests with a 64bit NetBSD/Xen Dom0.
