That's the same here. Building MPS uses xcodebuild with that Xcode project.

/Users/gerd % xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

And xcrun and xcodebuild are found in /usr/bin.

I'm afraid I can't help much here. It "just worked" for me, and I
haven't done any config for Xcode or its command line tools, except
installing them, a long time ago.
