US copyright law makes an exception for computer maintenance, so it would seem 
OK to develop on another platform, and distribute it for use on the indicated 
hardware.

Another exception: Some OS X server version has been made available on 
VirtualBox.org and I figure one might run Xcode within that. Their legal 
department perhaps didn't think about that.

But you might look into making a MacPorts version, using GCC.
