It looks like you may have to wait for new packages to be uploaded by the
Debian maintainers. For now you can simply use the /lib/tls libraries ‹
you¹ll get a warning during boot and performance in domain0 will be reduced,
but this may well be acceptable depending on your domain0 workload (e.g.,
are you using domain0 only for VM management? Performance will be perfectly
acceptable if that¹s the case).

I didn't  propose to try building the upstream sources (that is what
the orig packages are), but use apt pinning to install it (I think, i
did that but don't have that sarge machine anymore)! The upstream
sources are probably not even going to build in a xen-friendly way...
If you want to rebuild a deb from sources, you need to do something
different (sorry, I have no time to describe that fully, look at the
debian docs and ask on debian-user list - apt-pinning can e googles
easily).

Or search for backports - I don't know if one exists.
I don't remmber I had any problem with Xen and Sarge, but in general I
think, when using Xen you should use a recent version of a
distribution - etch is stable enough now, it's ging to be out soon,
and i run it on several machines with no problems.

I have uploaded some Xen compatible glibcs for Sarge to
http://xenbits.xensource.com/glibcs/sarge/ these should be more
compatible than trying to backport the libc from Etch since they are
taken from Sarge with only the TLS patch added.
