James, you can not build a full retail kernel from the darwin xnu
source. see: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111774054900004&r=1&w=2
As the posts in the referenced thread point out, there is rarely
any practical difference in operation of the kernels; as a
practical matter, if I had thought it would matter at all, I
wouldn't have recommended it.
Out of curiosity, if the differences are so small, then why keep them
different? Is there a slightly-more-optimised widget-driver in there
that makes the difference? Or is it something that validates the
kernel as retail, but doesn't really do anything else?
