   Hi Roger,

   I'm trying to build xen-tools in my laptop. It runs this:
  
                FreeBSD portgus 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #4
r279875+f0e745a(HEAD): Sat Mar 14 16:55:11 CET 2015

   the build was done with gcc48, instead of 4.7 (but I think it has
nothing to do with the problem) fails with the following error:

                http://pastebin.com/ShDnjLb1c

   It'd appear the compiler knows nothing about struct rdma_addrinfo
when dereferencing a field in the struct. May this struct be a linuxism?

   Best,

   Gustau
