I think it makes more sense to leave the file we build (vmlinuz) next to
vmlinux since it is merely a compressed/stripped version of vmlinux.

I'd prefer if for xen builds we not used arch/{i386,x86_64}/boot at all
but had a Makefile include which creates and installs vmlinuz.  We could
also skip install of the header files.

Which of the changes prevents the rebuild?
