Hi,

Yes. Your understanding is correct. I would like to drop the "dev86-native" 
from DEPENDS and add it only for x86 architecture. However I am not familiar 
with the overrides mechanism.

Sathees

    I am not sure I am following you correctly. But I believe what you are
    looking for is to drop "dev86-native" from DEPENDS, where it is
    currently listed, and instead list it in something like

    DEPENDS_x86 = "dev86-native"

    in the xen.inc file. ie. make use of the overrides mechanism to only
    require it for x86 arch. Am I close?
