Hi,
I'm reporting a build issue that I'm seeing when building Xen's userspace tools, when the build process clones and build Seabios, on Debian Sid, with gcc '6.2.0 20161019 (Debian 6.2.0-9)'.
The error looks like this (http://pastebin.com/99cubDZ3):
make -C seabios-dir all make[6]: Entering directory '/home/SOURCES/xen/xen.git/tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote' Compile checking out/src/stacks.o src/stacks.c: Assembler messages: src/stacks.c:567: Error: found `(', expected: `)' src/stacks.c:567: Error: junk `(%ebp))' after expression src/stacks.c:568: Warning: indirect call without `*' Makefile:133: recipe for target 'out/src/stacks.o' failed make[6]: *** [out/src/stacks.o] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory '/home/SOURCES/xen/xen.git/tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote' /home/SOURCES/xen/xen.git/tools/firmware/../../tools/Rules.mk:218: recipe for target 'subdir-all-seabios-dir' failed
Seabios folks may be aware of this already, as it looks very similar to this: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1463516.ht...
And even more to this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2016/10/msg00147.html
A colleague of mine (Cc-ed) said in chat that gcc 6.2.1 (don't know on what distro) seems to build all fine.
Regards, Dario

The SeaBIOS build was updated to work around this with commit 99e3316d59. What version of SeaBIOS are you attempting to build?

I'm building what Xen's build system tries to build by default which appears to be e2fc41e24ee0ada aka rel-1.9.3.
Wei, maybe we need to update to another changeset/release?

I'm inclined to believe this is a gcc issue. This is discovered due to Debian has -fpie when building.
After going through the list of changes between 1.9.3 and 1.10.0 I think I would be fine with updating our in tree version to that.
Wei.
