Hi! I've found few bugs in Xen-4.3.0:

FLASK part:

1) first of all, I'm discouraged, that flask policy builds without
FLASK_ENABLE=y. I guess, it is because I've SELinux in dom0, but,
anyway, since I've not enabled FLASK myself, I suggest that it will not
be build.

2) Moreover, that flask policy builds despite of I don't enabled flask,
somewhy it installs as "/boot" due to
> POLICY_LOADPATH = $(DESTDIR)/boot
(I checked it by changing value to boot3, and that policy was renamed too)

I guess, nobody get that issue due to less of people build xen/xen-tools
in sandbox, while Gentoo, for example, have both build and install in
sandboxed environment (so, there is no system /boot dir), and policy get
"/boot" name.


bundled SeaBIOS part:

3)

make -C seabios-dir all
  Working around non-functional -fwhole-program
make[5]: Entering directory
`/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-tools-4.3.0/work/xen-4.3.0/tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote'
make[6]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent
make rule.
  Build default config
#
# configuration written to
/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-tools-4.3.0/work/xen-4.3.0/tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote/.config
#
make[5]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-tools-4.3.0/work/xen-4.3.0/tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote'
  Working around non-functional -fwhole-program
  Compiling IASL out/acpi-dsdt.hex
make[6]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent
make rule.
  Compiling IASL out/ssdt-proc.hex
  Build Kconfig config file


That jobserver issues makes buildsystem continue build process  at
installation phase.

4) if user tries to build xen-tools with UTF-8 locale, he gets:

Version: rel-1.7.1-3-g3a28511-20130727_172824-node1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tools/layoutrom.py", line 630, in <module>
    main()
  File "./tools/layoutrom.py", line 607, in main
    info16 = parseObjDump(infile16, '16')
  File "./tools/layoutrom.py", line 538, in parseObjDump
    relocsection = sectionmap[sectionname]
KeyError: '.text.asm.out/../src/smp.c.77'

(there is some more info: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445986 )





Is is any fixes for that issues already?
