Where I work we updated the xen-arm-builder project earlier this year to 
make it build newer Xen/Linux/U-Boot images: 
https://github.com/dornerworks/xen-arm-builder/.  This version cross 
compiles the Xen and Mirage/OCaml tools.  At the time we had to pin 
mirage to an older version because the newer ones were giving us fits.
The changes were tested with a cubietruck, we didn't have a cubieboard2 
to test so it's possible that the cubieboard2 might have issues that we 
didn't address.  Also be warned that we didn't care about the various 
wireless devices so those may not work either.
