xen compile failed on em64t machine

[Chengyuan Li]

Hi,
I checked out the latest unstable version of xen from bk repository
and tried to compile it on em64t machine. However I received the
following error message. I learn that the xen x86_64 is still in
testing stage, but my question is that can it boot both xen0 and xenU
on em64t ia32e mode?

ia32-e mode is x86/64 so that won't work. But you *can* of course boot
any AMD64 or EM64T machine in legacy 32-bit mode.
