I am doing some research and testing for the GNU LilyPond project. 
(http://lilypond.org, sheet music engraving software) This is part of an 
effort to produce a 64-bit macOS version of the software as required by 
the next macOS version; currently only 32-bit is offered. The installer 
packages for LilyPond are built using not XCode, but a cross-compiler on 
Linux (http://lilypond.org/gub/) which produces installers for Linux, 
macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD. It looks like that build system would need 
a newer version of the macOS SDK from XCode to produce a 64-bit macOS 
installer; currently it appears to use Mac OS X SDK 10.4u. And a quick 
reading of the current XCode Software Licence Agreement finds that 
Section 2.5 "Copies" does not allow for using any part of XCode on 
anything but Apple-branded hardware. I am unsure which Apple forum is 
best for further discussion on that. If this one is suitable, I'll 
continue here. Otherwise, which one should I use?
