Hello, While the series started as a build fix for Alpine I think they are interesting on their own for other OSes/distros, since it allows to remove the i386 libc as a build dependency.
THis is done by proving a suitable set of standalone headers that are suitable for the needs of the firmware build. Patch 2 contains the full description on why it's done this way. The main risk for patches 1 and 2 is breaking the build in some obscure distro/OS and toolchain combination. We aim to have this mostly covered by gitlab CI. Patch 3 main risk is breaking the Alpine containers in gitlab CI, but they are already failing. Wanted to send this yesterday but was waiting on gitlab CI output, it's now all green: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/royger/xen/-/pipelines/261928726 Thanks, Roger.
