James,
I did exactly the same thing as you did, except I skipped your initial rpm
command (but rpm -qa confirms I have the right source). In the end I got the
same undefined references as before. Hopefully you can fix your "unrelated
problems" so we can see if this is a SUSE/Xen problem or not. An unrelated
issue is using the O= option to relocate the build output to a different
directory. Do you ever use this? This works fine for the regular kernel but
causes an immediate failure when building a Xen kernel (missing asm
directories).
