[Xen-devel] x86_64 to i386 boot generation conversion

2019-01-22 Thread nicolas . poirot
Hi everyone, I was wondering why when I build an x86_64 xen I got a mkelf32 command converting elf 64 to elf 32. My understanding, looking at git-log, is that that was needed for 32bits bootloaders. Is that the only reason ? Is it still necessary today ? Thanks. Nicolas . _
