[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/xen: fix build failure on x86 after bump to 47

[Yann E. MORIN]

Alistair, All,

On 2016-10-29 16:43 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:
> Since the bump to 4.7, Xen fails to build because of a double definition
> of __OBJECT_FILE__. This is due to (who would have guessed) the weirdness
> of their buildsystem.
> 
> Fix that with a dirty hack: undefine the macro before defining it.

Now build-tested, the double-definition issue is fixed, and the build
succeeds with this defconfig:

    BR2_aarch64=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_XEN=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_HYPERVISOR=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_TOOLS=y

Not booted, I don't know Xen enough to test...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
