I grabbed the latest TeX live from their repository a few hours ago and recompiled on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, using:
../source/configure --prefix=$texmf \ --datarootdir=$texmf --mandir=$texmf/man --infodir=$texmf/info \ --disable-multiplatform --with-x --disable-native-texlive-build \ --with-system-libgs --with-xdvi-x-toolkit=xaw --with-system-icu \ --with-system-freetype2 --with-system-zlib \ --disable-devnag --disable-makejvf --disable-mendexk (I use my own directory structure, but it shouldn't affect ability to compile.) I was able to compile xetex without problem, and it ran "xetex story \\bye" just fine.
