It would certainly be nice to ship Linux and FreeBSD sysroots (and a version of 
GNU ld that runs on OS X and can target these platforms) packaged up as an SDK 
for development on OS X.  We've discussed this many times in the past, but it 
needs someone to be willing to:

1) Create them
2) Keep them updated

The second is harder, but without a commitment from someone to put the time 
into ensuring that they work, they are of little value.  If you are as willing 
to volunteer your own time as you are to volunteer other people's, then feel 
free to create them.
