It might be instructive for you to look a little deeper at Mac OS X before dismissing it so strongly. It's built on a BSD Unix foundation, and supports exactly the same compilers, tools, OS calls, etc. as Linux does.
For our purposes, the only real missing piece on a Macintosh is MicroChip's C18 compiler. It's also missing on Linux systems. No clear winner there.
