Thanks Bill, I see how this is not a good fit from an ethical point of
view now. :/
In an attempt to make things easier for other people like me (GNU
enthusiasts who have to use a Mac for certain parts of their life) I
collected my patches together with a super simple build script here:
https://notabug.org/h3nn3s/icecat-mac
I still need to add some of the steps I shared about setting up the
environment to the README though.
Noob question: If add the final dmg to the repo, the license of IceCat /
Firefox requires me to also host the original sources there, right?

just to be clear, GNU used to build for mac some years ago - then
something changed in the toolset (maybe that SDK?) and now building
icecat for mac requires non-free software - for that reason, GNU does
not build it any longer, and does not recommend or assist anyone to
build it - that is the primary and only reason that it is not already
available on the GNU website
