It looks like the compiler's problem: it makes a implicit definition of __trap_to_gdb on the . This will cause the redundancy definition warning and stop the build process in default compiling setting. diff -r d1f6d0f820d8 xen/include/asm-powerpc/debugger.h --- a/xen/include/asm-powerpc/debugg

Jimi, the problem with this approach is that as changes are made to the Xen code, you have no idea if they make the smp situation better or worse. If you introduce a bug only visible with SMP or more likely to happen running MP you don't find out until someone picks up your code and applies th
