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.

+Subject: [PATCH] xen/Rules.mk: fix build with CFLAGS from environment
+
+When CFLAGS are passed from the environment, the first-level make
+invocation will append -D__OBJECT_FILE__ to it, then call a second
+make invocation, that will have those new CFLAGS in its environment,
+but will also append -D__OBJECT_FILE__ to those.
+
+Then, the compiler fails because __OBEJECT_FILE__ is defined twice.
+
+Just undefine it before defining it again, as a *workaround* to this
+issue.

This is indeed not the prettiest solution, but it's good enough. Has
one of you reported the problem upstream to the Xen people?

I've applied Yann's patch anyway.

Thanks a lot for the investigation and workaround!

Sorry about the radio silence here, I was away for a bit and then super busy.

If it's ok with you Yann I was planning on sending the two Xen patches
we have to mainline Xen and at least see what they think about this
issue. I don't have a huge amount of experience with them so I'm not
sure if they are interested in this, but I figured it is worth a try
anyway.

Thanks,

Alistair
