That is basically the way the mySTEP makefile works.

It builds e.g. the AppKit.framework hierarchy (Version/Current etc.
incl. all links) through Xcode (but tht can also be done in a Makefile
and adds a special Version/Linux-ARM which contains

a) a libAppKit.so
b) a symbolic link AppKit -> libAppKit.so

The compiler's CFLAGS gets passed as -L all
Frameworks/*.framework/Versions/Current/Linux-ARM so that it finds
-lAppKit as libAppKit.so

Apple has added special code to gcc to search frameworks in all -F
framework paths. I have not yet found a reasonable way to easily
emulate this -F flag.
