One option to compile xdvipdfmx that works here:

$ export $XETEX=location-of-xetex-TRUNK
$ CFLAGS="-I$XETEX/texk -I$XETEX/Work/texk
-I$XETEX/libs/freetype2/include -I$XETEX/libs/freetype2" \
   LDFLAGS="-L$XETEX/Work/texk/kpathsea/.libs
-L$XETEX/Work/libs/freetype2" ./configure

But you can also download it from
