You are missing dependencies. The long story short version, is you need to first get and make dtrace-tools:

$ curl http://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/dtrace/dtrace-96.tar.gz > dt.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf dt.tar.gz
$ cd dtrace-96
$ mkdir -p obj sym dst
$ xcodebuild install -target ctfconvert -target ctfdump -target ctfmerge \
ARCHS="i386 x86_64" SRCROOT=$PWD OBJROOT=$PWD/obj SYMROOT=$PWD/sym \
DSTROOT=$PWD/dst

Couldn't submit this as an edit, so just an FYI. The last line should be DSTROOT=$PWD/dst. You have an extra 'u' in there. – Eeyore Jun 18 '14 at 13:31
@Eeyore, I believe it is just a typo send went for edit. The original author fortunately is still around and can take another look if needed. Thanks – Ebrahim Byagowi Jan 23 '21 at 22:57

You need the latest version of apple's dtools utilities. The easiest way to install the tools is with MacPorts. If you don't have MacPorts, you can download it here.

With MacPorts installed, open Terminal, and run "sudo port install dtrace"

XNU should compile.
