xen discuss - Oct 2006 - clarification question: building osox-src-2006-08-16 :is the HowTo wrong?

Hello,

I had tried to build it on snv_46.I downloaded the packages 
according to the howto.
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/How-To-8-15-06)
I got an error about  -znointerp flag. 

I found it: for example,
in osox-src-2006-08-16/usr/src/uts/i86xen/unix/Makefile 
there is a flag -znointerp.

ld: fatal: option -z has illegal argument `nointerp''
ld: fatal: Flags processing errors.

(I made sure that if I try to run from the command line the following:
ld -znointerp test.o
I get:
ld: fatal: option -z has illegal argument `nointerp''
ld: fatal: Flags processing errors

(which ld=>/usr/ccs/bin/amd64/ld).

Accoridng to the following bug report,there is a problem 
with -znointerp flag.

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6465623

It says there that this was closed in solaris_nevada(snv_48).

My question is: As I understand, b44 does not support 
the -znointerp flag for ld.

According to the HowTo, SCXR b44 is needed in order to build Xen
on solaris. (osox-src-2006-08-16).
So , is there an error here ? Or am I wrong somewhere ? 

Regards,
Ian

You need to build after installing the build tools package from the
Xen community download. It contains the fix for -znointerp that went
back later in nv48.

Not an error so much as an error of omission. If you want to build our sources,
you''ll need to get the right version of ld on the machine. Our gate has
it, so
by far the easiest way to do this is to install our pre-built BFU archives,
then build the sources on top of that.
