I just caught Daniels other reply, now it makes sense. Those on this
list don't commonly build dom-0 apart from the HV, that's why I got
confused. It just doesn't stick in my head that the two build apart
since the Makefile just passes the same arch type to both.

You guys are used to building the two apart. Once you remember that you
can this all makes perfect sense. 

Hope that helps un-confuse the next person who asks.

Best,
