I don't think Xen itself is compiled against any libc. I have a 
busybox-based (though using glibc right now) initrd which you can use 
for your unprivileged domains. You can download it from 
http://www.diku.dk/~jacobg/self-migration/

I am working on exactly the same thing, though I am using self-migration 
in XenLinux rather than the managed migration in Xen. I am already able 
to migrate to a minimal Xen-host (the network-facing privileged code is 
about 50 lines of C, there is not even a TCP/IP stack running), and I am 
currenly working on being able to create new domains using the same 
mechanism (almost there).

I am currently on Xen 1.3, because the current Xend is too 
resource-hungry and complex for my needs. I am crossing my fingers for 
someone to implement the basics of Xend in C, and when that happens I 
plan to move to Xen 2.0.

Input and cooperation is welcomed.
