OK, these errors are just because the Xen tree that you're building with is a Xen 4.10 RC, whereas the current meta-virtualization recipe is written for Xen 4.9 and earlier. Xen 4.10 introduces a new library: xentoolcore, which needs to be packaged, so xen.inc needs some added statements. If you look at the sections in xen.inc that handle "xentoollog", that looks similar to what will be needed for xentoolcore. In addition to that, "xen-diag" probably needs one line to add it to the -misc package, the same way that "xenlockprof" is packaged in there.
