I am getting libxenlight.so and xl link failures, complaining about
missing login_tty and opentty symbols. The patch below fixes this for me,
in a quick & dirty manner.
FYI, not proposing this for the tree. I''m not sure to which extent you
want to support an oldish distro, whether libutil is universally necessary
and/or available.

If so, could you please attach your tools/config.log? Thanks, Roger.

We have autoconfery that is supposed to handle this. We haven''t taken
a decision to desupport Centos 5.
Can you check that you have the most recent version, run configure,
and post the resulting transcript, config.log and config.status ?
Thanks,
Ian.
