Suggest: replace the string 'dev86-native' within xen.inc's DEPENDS
definition with:
${@bb.utils.contains('XEN_TARGET_ARCH', 'x86_64', 'dev86-native', '', d)}
which will toggle the requirement for the dev86-native tools based on
the target arch the hypervisor is being built for.
If that looks OK, I can send a patch on top of the 4.12 version uprev
that I just posted.
