[Xen-devel] Tools build failure with gcc-9.2.1

[Dario Faggioli <dfaggioli@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Are the following errors (and more similar ones):

 CC       xenctrl_stubs.o
In file included from /usr/lib64/ocaml/caml/alloc.h:24,
                 from xenctrl_stubs.c:22:

When building with:

gcc version 9.2.1 20200306 [revision c5edde44f5b17b4891f17a63517f355bbf89e7d3] 
(SUSE Linux) 

Already known and being dealt with?
