I would add one modification to the Xen build here. Since you're
building the 2.6.31.1 kernel separately there's no need to build the
default xen kernels, so you can disable that part of the build with:
export KERNELS=""

I also like to build the xen deliverables in a location that is easily
installable to other targets:
export DISTDIR=/install-from-location (some shared filesystem)
# make dist

Then from each target:
cd /install-from-location
install.sh
