I've never built the EFI version but
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html suggests to me that
the --enable-targets=x86_64-pep option should have been based to the
binutils configure script not to the Xen build as you have done here.
You didn't include your build logs (hint: this is always a good idea!)
but I expect your build is ending with:
  ld: unrecognized option '--enable-targets=x86_64-pep'
  ld: use the --help option for usage information       
which should have been a strong hint that passing the option to the Xen
build was not correct.

AIUI if the binutils is suitably capable the Xen build will
automatically include the efi target in the build with no need for
additional options.

Running "ld -m \?" should tell you which targets your binutils supports,
it needs to include x86_64-pep and/or i386pep I think.

Jan, am I right?

Ian.
