Well, it prevented the compilation finishing, so you got no binary.... that seems fairly fatal! :)

I'm guessing that you're building on a Snow Leopard system, and so the Apple tools are defaulting to a 64-bit build, which is not supported for xetex on OS X.

If that's the case, try the following:

   export SDK_ROOT=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/
   export CC="gcc-4.0"
   export CXX="g++-4.0"
   sh build-xetex.sh

and see if that works better.
