It seems to build find for me.  Perhaps there is a system
dependency that I don't understand.  Note that I do get
some errors from cpp but they are harmless warnings and
it builds.  I posted a privify binary in the xen-ia64 ftp
directory... give that a try.

Anybody else on the list try to build privify and fail?
Apologies, it was a quick hack on New Year's Eve and probably
needs additional work.  I'll look into it more.

As Mark described, the first is a cross-compiler environment
which I've used for building and testing on the ski simulator.
The latter is a file that's necessary for running Xen on ski.
Mark and I are trying to work out the kinks and, if anybody
wants to try running/debugging on ski on x86 (e.g. because they
don't have access to ia64 hardware), we will post a README
for how to do this.
