Hi,

I'm not sure what the correct procedure is for requesting these so I
hope it is ok to post here.

Xen is currently using the 1.6.3-stable branch of SeaBIOS, our users
have requested a backport of two commits (related to building on NetBSD
IIRC):
97f1ffcfac4ca382b5008a7aabfc2c300131f978 Add PYTHON definition to Makefile.
805ede2bd35243a4298bc64bd81be6db7cf57f58 Permit .rodata.__PRETTY_FUNCTION__. sections in roms.

Would it be possible to backport those two?

I actually already backported these to our own 1.6.3-stable-xen branch
but belatedly thought I should inquire about the possibility of an
upstream backport -- it would be much preferable to keep the divergence
between 1.6.3-stable and -xen to a minimum.

If you are happy to backport then you could (if you wanted) pull
directly from the Xen branch:
        The following changes since commit 80d11e8577bf03e98f2eb1b0cb3a281ab2879c9e:
        
          Update version to 1.6.3.1 (2011-11-24 12:02:03 -0500)
        
        are available in the git repository at:
          git://xenbits.xen.org/seabios.git 1.6.3-stable-xen
        
        Kevin O'Connor (2):
              Add PYTHON definition to Makefile.
              Permit .rodata.__PRETTY_FUNCTION__. sections in roms.
        
         Makefile           |    7 ++++---
         tools/layoutrom.py |   12 ++++++++----
         2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)

Cheers,
Ian.
