Hi,

I ran ./configure in the stubdom directory. This is what I get.

teo-en-ming@intel-core-i5-4430-desktop:~/xen-4.3.0/stubdom$ ./configure
checking for wget... /usr/bin/wget
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for cmake... /usr/bin/cmake
Will build the following stub domains:
   ioemu-stubdom
   pv-grub
   xenstore-stubdom
   vtpm-stubdom
   vtpmmgr-stubdom
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating ../config/Stubdom.mk

I think the problem lies in...

checking for suffix of executables...

That is, the configure script cannot determine the suffix of 
executables, that's why it says "C compiler cannot create executables".

But how do I overcome the problem? Do I have to hack the configure script?
