Another thing to try is downloading our latest build of Xen 1.2 from
the project download page: 
 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads.html

Also, the Linux developers recommend using GCC 2.95.3 for maximum
stability. This is therefore probably a good choice for Xen as well,
although all our testing uses 3.3.2 as shipped with Redhat 9.
