After xen-clone finishes, try something like:
 cd xen-new/xenolinux-2.4.22
 make xconfig
 make clean
 make dep
 make bzImage
 cp arch/xeno/boot/image.gz ../install/boot/xenolinux.gz

Beware of adding non-default "character device" drivers. Apart from
that, most other options oughgt to work but may not have been tested.
