Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Problem with building the newest xen source on IA64

Hi Dietmar,

Following your suggestion, I've just upgraded binutils to 
binutils-2.17.50.0.14-1.
I've tried a new build on the fresh xen source tree (without any 
modifications), but unfortunately the error message is still there:

Do you have any other idea how to solve the problem?
Should I upgrade some more packages?

Cheers
