[Xen-devel] [BUG] Xen-4.8.0 efi/buildid.o: file not recognized/Ambiguous

["John L. Poole" <jlpoole56@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did the the following:

wget https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.8.0/xen-4.8.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf xen-4.8.0.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/xen-4.8.0
./configure

The config.log is available at: http://napadata.net/paste/view/9e7faf3d

I can post anything other information requested in my pastebin or 
provide as directed. I would have opened a bug, but 
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs_against_Xen_Project 
suggests sending to this list first.
