Sorry, but I don't get why it's not trying to dynamically link by
default. What should I do so it does? I do have
/usr/lib/xen-4.1/lib/libxenctrl.so in my system.

By the way, is there a reason why libxenctrl.so is in xen-utils-4.1
rather than in libxenstore3.0?

I'd appreciate a patch to the above. I have not much time to spare, as I
currently work on Openstack and many other things (libdbi, etc.).
