Hello,

I'm afraid I haven't seen this, neither have the package builds
reported any errors.  Just checked myself on my 15.0 test box by doing a
`make build` of xen-tools and it worked OK.

It's possible some combination of the ports installed on your system
is causing those issues, but my knowledge of ports is quite limited.

Maybe worth asking on some wider ports list?  It's possible I'm doing
something wrong on the xen-tools port.

Regards, Roger.
