4.2 has already been released, so if you want you can grab the tarball from:

http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.2.0/xen-4.2.0.tar.gz

I'm not sure, but I think this is the result of trying to compile
stubdoms, which are currently broken on NetBSD. You should not run gmake
without a target, because it will try to compile everything. Instead you
should compile the hypervisor and the tools only, by using:

# gmake PYTHON=/usr/pkg/bin/python2.7 xen

and

# gmake install-tools
