This is a known issue when trying to compile with newer binutils,
fixed in QEMU commit bbd2d5a8120771, which will be in 5.2.1 and 6.0.

It's already fixed in QEMU upstream and the fix will be released with 
the 6.0 version next month (the rc0 is already available):
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/bbd2d5a8120771ec59b86a80a1f51884e0a26e53

I guess xen-4.14.1 is using an older version, so if you want you can 
backport that patch in your version, the change should be simple.

Thanks,
Stefano

Anthony,

Done, I've backport the build fix to both staging branch.
