[Xen-devel] [PATCH] [build system] make should fail if it cannot build hvmloader

[Alex Zeffertt <alex.zeffertt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At the moment, if the tools required to build hvmloader are not present, make 
will continue building the rest of the system and not indicate that an error has 
occurred.
This patch causes make to stop and print a message saying that some packages are 
missing on the build machine and need to be installed.
Please consider applying the patch.

Regards,

Alex Zeffertt

Make build fail if packages required to build hvmloader not present
... rather than just continuing as if nothing's gone wrong.

Also, corrected the message generated by the makefile which says what
packages are required.
