MAC is used by some RTEMS users. They compile a m68k gcc cross compiler on 
their machine.

I see no reason why MAC cannot be directly support in the future. With USB 
support being added to the BDM project via the TBLCF pod I would love to see 
MACs supported. I just need to add the TBLCF support first. :-)

I should point out you should be able build gdb for the MAC and the BDM GDB 
server and then remotely connect to a Linux PC with a BDM pod and the BDM 
server. I say should as I have not received any feed back that it does all 
build and work.
