I'm trying to learn more about how Operating Systems work so I'm
taking an OS design course, which includes kernel development.
Since I am a Mac user, I would love very much to complete my course
work on my Mac
Hmm... if I'm parsing your email correctly, then you will find
completing your (linux-centric) coursework on your Mac to be almost
impossible. The Mac OS architecture differs from Linux is some
important ways, not least of which is the structure of the kernel
extensions -- which are not a.out (neither are x86 linux, they are
ELF, right?).
Use Linux inside of VirtualBox on your Mac -- then you can "use your
Mac" to complete your courseware, and not spend a dime. If you've got
VMWare or Parallels on your Mac, then that's your ticket. Use the GNU/
Linux GCC toolchain on the (virtual) Linux machine to do your
coursework.
When you get a spare moment, read Amit Singh's *awesome* "Macintosh OS
X Internals" book -- http://osxbook.com/
Sincere apologies if I totally missed the point of your question.
