Building the cross-compiler should be easy actually. Haiku's configure 
script does that, and, if I understood Morgan correctly, that worked 
without changes on MacOS.

Morgan already proposed some changes. I haven't applied them to our 
repository, since I guessed it would be smarter to apply a patch that would 
include all changes in the end. If it's easier for you to work together, I 
can apply the intermediate patches, too, though. If you want me to do that, 
it would be nice, if I could get a patch including all changes so far (the 
<size_t.h> change wouldn't be necessary anymore).
