 I guess it's the emulator test code which has a problem here (I
 did notice this myself), but that doesn't get built by default (and
 I see no reason why anyone would want to build it when putting
 together packages for people to consume - this is purely a dev
 tool). Please clarify.

Well, I don't customize the default, and I don't see any build failure
either (I simply had the desire to run the harness on one of the
backports, which made me notice this issue). I can't even seem to
spot where CONFIG_TESTS is being (or supposed to be) set. In fact
grep-ing tools/ and config/ for TESTS yields a rather limited set of
hits.

 This does not seem to compile for me (x86_64) without the attached 
 (admittedly
 brutish) change.

Because OSSTest highly customises its build.

It doesn't test the default. (but really should...)

If so, how come osstest didn't notice the issue (long ago)?

Thanks Andrew,

I was not sure but I did not do anything special except replacing the orig
tarballs. The rest of the build is as we share it with Debian. So for a minor
release / stable release update I would rather not change the environment.

For the patch I just copied the definition from lib.h because gcc seems to be
called without access to hypervisor includes (probably adapting the Makefile
plus adding an include would be the better path but it was late'ish on a Friday
and I wanted something compiling quickly).

These tools are all built automatically.  Therefore, build fixes should
be backported.

To avoid building them, you need override CONFIG_TESTS := n in the root
.config file to override the default in Config.mk
