[long discussion]
Why are you trying to build xen12load? It is included in the pkgsrc
package.
Why are you building cross-tools when you can build a xen kernel from
/usr/src/sys/arch/xen using just the native tools in your NetBSD/i386
installation?
The "XEN" kernel config file should work; or you can use the prebuilt
"XEN" kernel you can download from the Xen site itself to get things
going.
