The biggest problem you will find is that OSX uses very old version of awk, sed, make, grep, etc so a lot of the scripts you use to build rootfs, kernels, u-boot, etc don¹t always work. Best to look at GNU compatible versions of these tools like MacPort, HomeBrew, Fink and this might help make thing easier.
