First of all libc6-i686 is not used on a xen system, the libc6-xen
library is already optimized for i686. Anyway that's not the issue here.

Your system seems to work with libc6 2.11, but problems start when both
libc6-xen and libc6-i686 are configured, that is when the optimized
libraries are enabled, by removing /etc/ld.so.nohwcap. You can probably
recover your system by doing as root 'touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap' (when
your system is screwed, you may use busybox-static for that).

Your problem is probably related to an old version of the libc6
installed somewhere in a subdirectory of /lib. Could you please send me
the output of 'find /lib /usr/local/lib . -name libc*so* | xargs ls -l'
?
