Huh. rpl_open is a gnulib replacement for open(); I'm not sure why
gnulib thinks open() needs replacing on Linux (unless it is trying to
provide O_CLOEXEC support for older kernels). Was this an incremental
build, where you had already built before updating to the latest
libvirt.git, and just typed 'make'?
Can you try 'rm gnulib/lib/fcntl.h', then 'make', to see if it clears up
the issue? If it doesn't, then maybe you'll have to resort to a
full-blown clean checkout.

It's defined by gnulib, which is copied into place from the gnulib.git
submodule during ./autogen.sh (and not under libvirt.git's control).
Even then, it only exists in the replacement <fcntl.h> header provided
by gnulib when gnulib thinks that open() isn't up to snuff with POSIX
requirements.

I think the key is the <target port='1'/>. You don't need any
placeholder in the XML for a missing port 0, but you do need it in the
xm format where port is implied by position. That is:
<devices>
<serial type='dev'>
<source path='/dev/ttyS1'/>
<target port='1'/>
</serial>
</devices>
should be sufficient XML to mark that you want to use multi-serial xen
support, and that you are explicitly leaving virtual port 0 unoccupied
and plugging in your one serial device into virtual port 1; mapping to:
serial = [ "none", "/dev/ttyS1" ]
in the xm file. The sexpr rationale should be the same.
