Hi,

I've just come across this error myself and found the following solution. I'm no
expert by any means but this seems to work ok. I basically followed the
instructions here [http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/27/153].

Edit the file: /tmp/xen-3.0.1/xen/include/asm/mpspec_def.h
and change line 78 from:

unsigned char mpc_bustype[6] __attribute((packed));

to:

unsigned char mpc_bustype[6];


All should compile then.
Hope that helps.
