Thanks.  Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for me.  What I did
was:

  hg clean --all && cp ../.config .
  Apply your patch
  chmod +x ./autogen.sh ./version.sh 
  ./autogen.sh 
  chmod +x ./configure 
  cp /usr/share/misc/config.{sub,guess} tools/
  chmod +x tools/config.{sub,guess}

This produces the tree which I would check in.  I then ran:

  ./configure 
  (make -j4 && echo ok.) 2>&1 | tee ../log

This did not work correctly.  It failed like this:

  [ -d /u/iwj/work/xen-unstable-tools.hg/dist/install/boot ] || install -d 
-m0755 -p /u/iwj/work/xen-unstable-tools.hg/dist/install/boot

I looked at "dist" and it is indeed a file, not a directory.  It
contains a copy of install.sh.

My .config contains this:

  CONFIG_QEMU=/u/iwj/work/1/qemu-iwj.git
  QEMU_UPSTREAM_URL=/u/iwj/work/1/qemu-upstream-unstable.git

Ian.
