I found that the gcc upgrade to 10 broke my compile, too. The only reason I needed to compile is that nettle upgraded and requires xen to be recompiled, but I could only get xen 4.13.0 to compile, not 4.13.1. I downgraded gcc back to the last version of 9 and was able to recompile for the newer version of nettle.
I'm still on kernel 5.5.13-arch2 as it was the latest I could get HVM networking to work (I run OPNSense as a HVM).
My server motherboard doesn't have UEFI, so I'm only doing BIOS boot with Grub2.
Thanks for the repo. I will certainly check it out!

We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:
If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.
EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen
