Is it at all possible to recompile at least the Xen toolstack bits with
these extra gcc features disabled? Either by using the old compiler or
somehow (CFLAGS?) disabling those features of the new one.
I'm afraid it's looking more and more like a toolchain issue. I'm not
expert on this side on things but it looks to me like you are hitting an
issue with some sort of buffer overflow check gone wrong? I think you'll
need a gcc hardening person for this one.
Ian.
