Ah, I didn't know, it's a little bit confusing. Would you like me to
submit a bug report with them?

Yes, that works, thanks! But it gives a new error which I couldn't
solve yet:

---
LINK  qemu-nbd

cutils.o: In function `strtosz_suffix_unit':

tools/qemu-xen-dir/cutils.c:354: undefined reference to
`__isnan'

tools/qemu-xen-dir/cutils.c:357: undefined reference to `modf'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
---

Any idea there?

Also -- If we're not using qemu-nbd then could you suggest a
workaround please? I'd prefer something that can be patched or
issued before I run the make process. (I run the make process
twice now - if the first run fails, patch, then run again and if it
fails again error out)

Thanks so far,
Mark
