After 4 days of works, I have a working #Xen 4.2.5 running #NetBSD 6.1.5 as dom0 on i386.
I am able to confirm that #NetBSD 10 and #Linux 4.13 are able to run as domU PV.
The journey was very long:
#pkgsrc 2018Q3 provided a lot of help and sometime tiny annoyances.
I had to build 3 compilers: gcc 4.4, gcc 4.8 and gcc 6.4.
I had to downgrade #ocaml to version 4.00.1, rewriting xentools42 Makefile to use my downgrade and kill xen' ocaml binding (because file not found in pkg install).
I had to force some version of GCC to build some packages - pkgsrc helped there.
Recent version of Linux doesn't seem to boot, the ramdisk/initrd for old Linux is broken, the xm stack seem more broken than the xl stack.
But I was able to run 2 domU PV on i386!
