I am not a Xen expert; but, I have seen this error when building other software.
In my case it came down to the version of gcc installed not being able to generate code for the target (i686-xen-elf in your case). You might want to peek in that config.log file and see what gcc command is failing and how.
In my case I was able to change the --target=blah part to match my system, but I don't know if that would work for you. You might also want to make sure your gcc can compile for i686.

I am trying to build xen-3.3.0 and I keep running into this error. I have checked and everything is there and installed and the PATH is correct. I found someone on the 15th who also had the same problem but never got a reply back so I am asking again.
Here is the error:
