Hi Jukka,

thanks for noticing this and the bug fix, committed as r12954. That was a
stupid typo.

Omega has been removed but aleph is still there. No idea why xetex was not
built, should have been and --enable-xetex is the default.

This could have various reasons, cross-compiling is one of them.

The actual reason should be in the build.log file; try
   grep -i xetex build.log | grep -v icu-xetex
