Thanks, didn't know about that project! I guess this isn't designed to run Mac OS's libc and userspace in a bug-for-bug compatible fashion though and thus wouldn't provide any more info about unique porting issues on Mac OS on top of what's already revealed by cross-compiling.

I am unsure if the XNU you can build from public sources can support the userspace the extent necessary to run all those tools. Honestly, I would probably suggest using a Hackintosh as it'd be significantly less work for a higher-fidelity result…

  Yeah, thanks, we do have Apple hardware. It's about CI and build automation (or the lack thereof on Mac OS). For example, we can't re-image /reset a Mac into a pristine state easily after manually switching of SIP for CI, but must still end-user test the final product, can't justify the effort to adapt to yearly updates for relatively niche target, can't reasonably save working XCode setups, must test things on current Safari (so have a clean/up-to-date Apple machine around), etc.
