# make tools 

fails on Ubuntu 9.04 Server with
Config.mk suggested above

This one Config.mk (untouched) works fine:-

PYTHON ?=  python
PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG ?= --prefix="$(PREFIX)"
# The above requires that PREFIX contains *no
 spaces*. This variable is here
# to permit the user to set PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG to '' to workaround this bug:
#  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/362570

Xen Host boots fine.
Pygrub still fails.

But it's not a core issue (view attached report)!!

Profile bellow fails as well with 2.6.30-rc3-tip :-

This is the line you changed ?  I'm afraid your message wasn't very
clear.

> IF 
 PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG ?=''

This is the feature I put in to let you override the --prefix
specification from the Xen build system, specifically to try to work
around the Ubuntu python installation bug.  If it doesn't work then
something is wrong.
