[Xen-devel] x86 Build break (SuSE SLES 9 SP1) - error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

[David F Barrera <dfbp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried building Xen on SLES 9 SP1 using the May 15 xen-unstable-src.tgz
file, and it fails as follows:

SuSE SLES 9 SP1 has gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)

Note: Xen builds and boots just fine on a RHEL 4 box. RHEL 4 has gcc
version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4).
