I think the bug is in Xen then.  I have an oldish checkout and I see:

$ find . -name utils.h
./tools/console/daemon/utils.h
./tools/xenstore/utils.h

Could you move more headers to tools/include/ and avoid polluting 
QEMU_CFLAGS?

That said, for this particular case not using foo.o-cflags can be a 
stopgap solution too.
