[Xen-devel] todays xen-unstable is throwing gcc errors when compiling on PPC

[Jerone Young <jyoung5@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When compiling Xen on PPC today I get the following error that is being
caused by casting (u32 *). Once the cast is removed all is well and
things compile fine. Is this happening on x86 or x86-64 ? I'm using gcc
4.1.0 on Suse SLES 10.

There Error:
