Creating the disk image isn't a big deal. You just have to remember to mount
it after a reboot or XCode will complain. Personally I like the convenience of
working in XCode. I use Parallels only when I absolutely have to. It's gotten
so damn slow as to be nearly unusable.
You do have to do a couple of tricks in XCode (build rules and build phases) to
get everything to work properly and make it use the right cross-tool
executables. I suppose I should delve deeper into the inner workings of XCode
to integrate that better. I know it's doable because Intel makes some
high-performance compilers that work seamlessly in XCode.
But, IMHO, this is all one-time stuff. The nuances of building a kernel are
more inscrutable. What version of GCC do you need? What version of glibC do
you need? And so on. Then, what version of the kernel works and why? How do
you know you need a later version? And once you've built it, how do you test
it to make sure everything works properly? Too much guesswork, IMHO. Too much
digging on the web for little reward and far too many partial answers. "How do
you do X?" "I did it and it worked for me." "Uh yeah, thanks but HOW did you
do it?"
