That commit message is kind of misleading, as the command run which
lead to the error isn't written. Could you expand the commit message to
include the problematic command ran? Something like:
Running `make custom.config` fails with:

The two other locations that calls back on the main Makefile aren't
usable by Xen, they would lead to another error anyway. So fixing the
