Thanks for pointing this out. Turns out that not even all libraries
get __XEN_TOOLS__ defined (see tools/Rules.mk). In the case of
toolcore, the public xen.h is included solely to get a definition
of domid_t. None of the handles are actually needed. I wonder if such
a dependency couldn't be avoided. Yet doing so would help only a little:
Other libraries (evtchn or gnttab for example) likely need more, yet
don't depend on libxc either.

For the time being I'll extend the #if to also check for __GNUC__, but
I'm not convinced this is a good way of dealing with the issue.
