[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#374395: FTBFS with GCC 4.2: cast from pointer to integer of different size

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: xen-3.0
Version: 3.0.2+hg9681-1

Your package fails to build with GCC 4.2.  Version 4.2 has not been
released yet but I'm building with a snapshot in order to find errors
and give people an advance warning.  The bug below is in your package
though and not because I'm using a snapshot of the compiler so please
take a look at it.  You can reproduce this with the gcc-snapshot
package.
