I think the expectation is that ./configure will do necessary probing.
If it discovers something is missing, it stops.

So I guess the "minimum set of flags" should be "none".

But, there is a caveat: Xen's configure can't cover completely what is
needed by other software we need, so there could be some fallouts.

In any case, fixing the build is probably the easier ones of all the
bugs we face.

There is one called xenstored.service.

I think so -- when you configure it properly when building Xen, those
files will be properly installed to the desired location of your test
host.  Make sure you have systemd development package(s) installed on
your build host.

My limited experience with those script shows that they work just fine.
I don't remember making any special adjustment to them.
