I will sent them when I am back home, but have no access to them right now as I 
am on work, sorry.

The build did not end with errors, but as I found something similar to ld: 
unrecognized option '--enable-targets=x86_64-pep' I also suspected that it was 
wrong what I did.

This is the portion where my problem actually is. I am currently using the 
latest packages from the Ubuntu 12.10 repository. Which states in the change 
log for binutils that --enable-targets=x86_64-pep is added to enable building 
xen.efi. But with "make dist-xen" I get the massages "EFI support disabled".

Thanks for this hint, seems I couldn't find it in my googling late last night.

I will give it a try this afternoon and add the build log.

Thanks for your time, Kristian Hagsted Rasmussen
