Clean out your repository with a "make clean"

then do:

make world XEN_TARGET_X86_PAE=n
make install XEN_TARGET_X86_PAE=n

I think you need to pass the XEN_TARGET argument to all commands, otherwise 
bad things can happen (in this case, make install is probably doing something 
crazy like trying to rebuild some objects in Xen - but it's not got the 
XEN_TARGET option set, so it's failing).

Does that make sense?

The -testing repository should be always pretty stable since it's just used to 
queue up smallish bug fixes and minor features for 3.1.x releases.  
xen-unstable may occasionally break, but the -testing tree should be quite 
sane, therefore you shouldn't need to take special measures to get a stable 
tree.

Cheers,
Mark
