So. You are on a amd64 machine, and you are building a 32bit
kernel, for some reason. Is it because it is a Dom0 hypervisor?

Well, yes, since grub2 has no support for Xen images at all.
Legacy grub looks for the Xen bits in the corresponding config file,
and does the right thing. grub2 does not yet have this support.

The only reason there is a vmlinux is because this is a Xen0
image. You need to either add support yourself for boot loading it, or
you need to find a compatible bootloader.
