Hello,

Hi Dario,


Are the following errors (and more similar ones):

When building with:

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

Already known and being dealt with?

I suspect you have a new version of Ocaml built with -safe-string as per [1], String_Val() will return (const char *) rather than (char *).

I am looking at writing a patch for it and send it to xen-devel.

Cheers,
