Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The under-5 mortality rates are calculated with the BR file. I recommend that you construct two versions of the BR file--one for boys (cases with b4=1) and one for girls (cases with b4=2). Run the program separately for those two. That would be easier than modifying the Stata program.
