As this is almost the same version that we used to build the arm-elf
cross compiler on OS X, you can go ahead. Both toolchains, the i686 and
the arm-elf will happily co-exist on your machine.

In case you want to use Nut/OS: The only problem I know of is wxWidgets,
because Xcode comes with a rather old version and, as far as I remember,
we had to remove that one. Anyway, like on Linux, the Configurator GUI
doesn't run well on OS X. You may prefer to stick with the command line
version.
