The compiler shipping with Xcode cannot be used to compile Fiasco or L4Re. You definitely need a cross compiler tool chain (i686-pc-gnu-linux) and a number of GNU utilities (findutils, gawk, coreutils, zlib, ...). For some stuff in the L4Re source tree you even need GNU libc headers and libs. You also have to put L4Re and L4Linux sources onto a case-sensitive file system, because the root file system on Mac OS X is case insensitive.

It is possible to (cross) compile on a Mac natively, but the simplest way is probably to install Debian or Ubuntu in a VM and compile the L4 stuff there.

Merry Christmas,
