-2) Building a Component
-
-  Go to the top directory in your XNU project.
-
-  If you are using a sh-style shell, run the following command:
-     $ . SETUP/setup.sh
-
-  If you are using a csh-style shell, run the following command:
-     % source SETUP/setup.csh
-
-  This will define the following environmental variables:
-    SRCROOT, OBJROOT, DSTROOT, SYMROOT
-
-  From a component top directory:
-
-    $ make all
-
-  This builds a component for all architectures, kernel configurations, and
-  machine configurations defined in TARGET_CONFIGS (or alternately ARCH_CONFIGS
-  and KERNEL_CONFIGS).
-  
-  Example:
-    $(OBJROOT)/RELEASE_X86_64/osfmk/RELEASE/osfmk.filelist: list of objects in osfmk component
-
-  From the component top directory:
-
-    $ make mach_kernel
-
-  This includes your component in the bootable image, mach_kernel,  and 
-  in the kernel binary with symbols, mach_kernel.sys.
-
-  WARNING: If a component header file has been modified, you will have to do 
-           the above procedure 1.
