I checked out cctools from anoncvs.opensource.apple.com:/cvs/Darwin but 
it won't build:

cc -DM68K -DBUILTIN_MMUS -O -g -I.. -I../../include -I. -Wall 
-Wno-precomp -DNeXT_MOD 
-I/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/PrivateHeaders  -c -MD \
         -dependency-file ./messages.d -o ./messages.o ../messages.c
../messages.c:22: header file 'streams/streams.h' not found
../messages.c:76: undefined type, found `NXStream'
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in 
basic mode
make[2]: *** [messages.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [a68_build] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

There is no "PrivateHeaders" directory under 
/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/, and no "streams.h" 
anywhere on my machine.

Also, I found your patch in the Darwin archives, but it seems to have 
been completely mailer-mangled and unusable.

That would be nice.
