Yes, that's weird. libxendevicemodel does depend on libxencall for the case when the privcmd driver in dom0 does not support the new DM_OP ioctl, but that dependency should be there regardless of architecture. > > diff --git a/configure b/configure > index 99d6cbc..363a126 100755 > --- a/configure > +++ b/configure > @@ -2027,9 +2027,9 @@ int main(void) { > return 0; > } > EOF > - compile_prog "" "$xen_libs $xen_stable_libs -lxendevicemodel" > + compile_prog "" "$xen_libs $xen_stable_libs -lxendevicemodel - > lxencall" > then > - xen_stable_libs="$xen_stable_libs -lxendevicemodel" > + xen_stable_libs="$xen_stable_libs -lxendevicemodel -lxencall" > xen_ctrl_version=40900 > xen=yes > elif I think xencall should be part of the base xen_stable_libs anyway.
