This means you have package(s) installed that the standard build doesn't. 
One option is to edit the xen.spec file in ~/SPECS directory to package 
these files, eg. add these files after the
/usr/lib/xen/boot/xenstore-stubdom.gz
line, and then build from the revised spec file, ie.
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/xen.spec
