Ian Jackson 0013245473 tools: work around collision of -O0 and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE
Some systems have python-config include -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE in the
CFLAGS.  But -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE does not (currently) work with -O0, and
-O0 is enabled in debug builds (since 1166ecf781).  As a result, on
those systems, debug builds fail.

Work around this problem as follows:
 * In configure, detect -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE in $(python-config --cflags)
 * If detected, set the new autoconf substitution and make variable
   PY_NOOPT_CFLAGS to -O1.
 * In tools/Rules.mk, where we add -O0, also add PY_NOOPT_CFLAGS
   (which will override the -O0 with -O1 if required).

Overriding the -O0 is better than disabling Fortify because the
latter might have an adverse security impact.  A user who wants to
disable optimisation completely even for Python and also disable
Fortify can set the environment variable
    EXTRA_CFLAGS_XEN_TOOLS='-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -O0'

pygrub is a grub-like bootloader for xen. This tool is to use to boot domU images.

To compile pygrub, you will need the following packages installed:

1) Libraries of ext2fs, which is the following package (depend on your Linux distribution):
	- e2fslibs-dev on Debian based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Linspire, Libranet, Xandros, etc...)
	- e2fsprogs-devel on RedHat, Fedora Core
	- libext2fs2-devel on Mandriva/Mandrake
	- e2fsprogs on Gentoo

2) Libraries of reiserfs, which is the following package (depend on your Linux distribution):
	- libreiserfs-dev on Debian based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Xandros, Libranet, Xandros, etc...)
	- progsreiserfs-devel on RedHat
	- progsreiserfs on Gentoo
