I am experimenting the same problem with xe(la)tex and (pdf)etex 
formats. This is the summary of the subprocess output from the configure 
phase:

This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings:
`pdfetex -ini -jobname=etex -progname=etex -translate-file=cp227.tcx 
*etex.ini' failed
`pdfetex -ini -jobname=pdfetex -progname=pdfetex 
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini' failed
`xetex -ini -jobname=xetex -progname=xetex -etex xetex.ini' failed
`xetex -ini  -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex -etex xelatex.ini' failed
 
and this are the detailed error messages:
