Hub,
IIRC, that mcp was provided by John Brewer, the first person to attempt a
Mac port. (If you troll back through the archives far enough, you'll
empathize with his posts about usage of non-ANSI C low-level stuff in XP
code.)

I'm with Sam here -- by all means, replace that broken old binary mess with
something current and text-based.
As for peer vs. inline, I'd think the "official" way to build the MacOS
version of Abi products belongs in the abi/src tree. The only reason to
move it out to a peer module is if it's so insanely bloated it dwarfs the
existing XP make system.
