Problems building an Intel 10.5.6 kernel

The is the first time I have tried to build an Darwin kernel. My previous experience is in FreeBSD kernels.

I am trying to build an Intel version of the 10.5.6 kernel following instructions from chapter 19 of the "Kernel Programming Guide" dated 11/07/2006, the section titled "Building Your First Kernel".

The platform I am doing the build on is a Mac OS X Server, Version 10.5.6. I have installed Xcode, Version 3.1.2 on it adding support for Mac OS X 10.3.9 to get the GCC 3.3 compilier.

I downloaded source code from http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.6/
    xnu-1228.9.59
    bootstrap_cmds-60.1
    Libstreams-25
    kext_tools-117.4
    IOKitUser-388.50
    cctools-667.3

The documentation indicates I am supposed to use 'gcc_select' command to switch compiliers. The 'gcc_select' command does not exist on in my copy of Developer Tools. There are copies of 'gcc_select at http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/projects/other

Building 'bootstrap_cmds' fails with a File Not Found error. The Makefile contains the line:

   include $(MAKEFILEPATH)/CoreOS/ReleaseControl/BSDCommon.make

which does not exist on my system. The contents of my ../CoreOS/ ReleaseControl is: ./BSD.make ./Common.make ./GNUSource.make ./README ./texi2html ./mtree ./mtree/BSD.include.dist ./mtree/BSD.local.dist ./mtree/BSD.release.dist ./mtree/BSD.root.dist ./mtree/BSD.usr.dist ./mtree/BSD.var.dist ./mtree/BSD.x11.dist ./mtree/Darwin.root.dist ./mtree/Darwin.usr.dist ./mtree/Darwin.var.dist ./mtree/README


My questions are:

1) Am I using the wrong documentation for the build instructions? If so, where can I find documention for 10.5.6 builds.

2) Is the gcc 3.3 still required to build a 10.5.6 Intel kernel? If so, should I grab gcc_select-58 from http://www.opensource.apple.com.

3) Assuming the build instructions are correct, where can I find a copy
   of BSDCommon.make?
