This is just with Fedora's gcc-5.1.1-4.fc23.x86_64 with the standard 
package build options, including -Werror . The values of 
-D__OBJECT_FILE__= really are different, with (from memory) the first 
being the absolute path to the /xen subdirectory of the unpacked xen-4.7 
source and the second a relative path to the file being complied from 
there.
