[Xen-devel] [BUG] stable-4.4: xen/tools/blktap2/drivers/block-qcow.c build errors

[Leonardo Taccari <iamleot@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to the entire Xen community,
trying to build Xen ARM on Debian GNU/Linux armhf testing gives the
following errors (doing a "./configure && make dist-tools"):

Unfortunately I'm not an expert C programmer but after reading
posix_memalign(3) it seems that the compiler warning is right.
Removing -Werror on the affected file fix this issue but it's just a
workaround.

For more information about the compiler:
$ gcc -v

If you need more information about my environment don't hesitate to
contact me!
I've succesfully built the stable-4.4 branch about one month ago and
succesfully run it on a cubieboard2.


Thanks for your consideration,
Ciao,
L.
