Xen devel - Apr 2006 - [PATCH] don''t always need to build x86 firmware

In the tools part of xen, if you have bcc installed, ''make
tools''
will try to compile all of the x86 firmware (ACPI, ROM BIOS, VGA
BIOS).  This patch turns that off if we''re building for ia64, where
we don''t really need it (yet).  It may be necessary to turn this off
for PowerPC, too, but I don''t have one of those to test on.

Tested with ''make tools'' on ia64 Debian GNU/Linux (unstable)

Instead of this, could you have a look at converting tools/Makefile to
use the subdirs-$(foo) syntax that the xen/ Makefiles are using?
