Hi,
me and a friend of mine working on a patch with which xen-tools build with the CFLAGS -fpie and -stack-protection. We saw, that everything build expect of xen.detect. We developed a patch with which xen.detect builds and we can execute the binary after that, but we dont get the right information, that for example we are running a PV fedora domain. Maybe someone, who is better in assambler than we are can give us some hints.

thanx and bye

Ben

xen-detect: Change assembly cpuinfo code that allows this to be built with 
-fPIC.
