Neal Frager f63e572432 package/xen: fix build error when BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_TOOLS not enabled
The 0002-Update-linker-flags.patch assumes that the qemu-xen files are included
in the xen source tree. However, if BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_TOOLS is not enabled, the
qemu-xen dependency will not be handled and the patch will fail to apply with
the following error.

Fixes: build error below
Applying 0002-Update-linker-flags.patch using patch:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

No file to patch.  Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored
make: *** [package/pkg-generic.mk:239: output/build/xen-4.21.1/.stamp_patched] Error 1

To avoid making BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_TOOLS a required option, fix the
0002-Update-linker-flags.patch so that modifying source from the qemu-xen
package is no longer included.

Instead of patching qemu-xen, a better solution is undefining the
__XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ from the qemu-xen package.

To test:
BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_AARCH64_GLIBC_STABLE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XEN=y
 # BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_TOOLS is not set

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
