With my updated version of mirage-skeleton yesterday, now B=--xen is 
totally uneeded but that was probably OK.
just do make, and you can even run it directly with mirari run --xen !

However for some reason the

HA ! That look like a problem. Are you really using the mirage backend ? 
Under UNIX, indeed, all the VIFs are brought up with 10.0.0.2 by default 
(unless specified otherwise in the .conf file used by mirari), and 
mirari sets the tap device IP to be 10.0.0.1.
Can you confirm that you are indeed using Xen ?

But yeah I'm quite relieved that the problem seem to be that.
I'll investigate.

Yeah I think there is a big problem with my machine, or something like 
that. I'll ask Dave to help.
