yes your correct, it was set 
to PC-compatable, i have changed that to XEN and it is now 
compiling.
 
not sure how you figured that 
out but thanks :)

you'd reproduce a problem from arch/i386 on a powerpc or amd64.
What 
MACHINE it is won't make much of a difference (afaik Linux doesn't
have any 
logic to figure out what the hardware looks like much beyond
figuring which 
model and mode of processor it is being run on). The
architecture being built 
for is a different matter.

Possibly, but I've just repro'd the problem (although, as 
you say,
x86_64 build doesn't have the same problem!)
And I believe I 
know what the problem is too: The subarchitecture in the
config isn't set to 
"Xen" but "PC-compatible".
