Unable to compile Xen-2.0

[Jerome Brown <guruswami@orcon.net.nz>]

I have the latest Xen-2.0 tarball (downloaded today 27 Oct 04) and get 
the following error while compiling the 2.6.9-xenU kernel:

make -C linux-2.6.9-xenU ARCH=xen INSTALL_PATH=/usr/src/xen-2.0/install 
install
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xen-2.0/linux-2.6.9-xenU'

I am running Gentoo Linux with GCC 3.4.2 and glibc 2.3.4.20040808 
compiled with NPTL only (no LinuxThreads) and both a 2.6.9 and a 2.6.8.1 
kernel. The GCC has ssp-3.4.1 and pie-8.7.6.5 compiled in, but they are 
disabled for the compilation as Xen will not compile with them enabled 
(Are there plans to allow this?). I have tried disabling 
XEN_WRITABLE_PAGETABLES as suggested for an error with the same file on 
this list 2-3 weeks ago, with no success. The base kernels were compiled 
with this setup.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will try with GCC 
3.3.3 to see if that helps.

Cheers

Jerome
