This patch makes xen compiled with gcc option -funit-at-a-time if
supported. This option is available for gcc 3.4 and upward, which
reduces the .text binary size considerably.

This option is the default for -O2 and above in gcc4 anyway. It might explain why I end up with a buggy Xen when I build with gcc4 (Linux has had a number of problems with -funit-at-a-time, because odf extra stack usage and code reordering).
