I've NOT been disappointed in VirtualBox running on my OS X system in
any way. I do most my work on my Kubuntu desktop system, but in a pinch
or when I'm on the road, the Macbook with VirutalBox gives me all the
Linux capability I've ever needed. Simple to install and it just works.

I've been building the kernel for the beaglebone black using Roberts
eewiki instructions for around two years now. A lot of that was done
from a virtualbox VM. I've even been using that same vm to load the
rootfs for that A5A over our network.
Anyway, this is not meant as eWenus waggling, just trying to reinforce
the fact that using a Virtualbox VM can work really well. For me, it
has been pretty Rock solid.

Well, I use Windows for a Desktop, and have not really had much
experience with OSX hands on. But what I do know is that
virtualbox works really well on Windows, and Virtualbox has
binaries for OSX.
I have used those Linaro binaries for Windows by the way, and for
simple applications they seem to work fine *BUT* that whole avenue
to me just seems wrong. Not to mention that it would be very
difficult to build the kernel on Windows, but probably not impossible.
Personally, I think all in all Debian is best for building Debian.
But if you just need to build / compile "simple" applications.
Ubuntu 14.04 has cross tools for armhf that seem to work fine. If
needing help setting that up, just watch DR. Molloy's Videos on
youtube from a year or two ago. Forthe original beaglebone ( white
) Substituting *armhf* tools for armel tools.

I concur, I'm building a 3.8.13-bone71-1 right now on my
Macbook Pro OS X Yosemite system. I use a Transcend card
reader for creating the uSD cards from the Linux console in
the VM. I've been doing this for sometime and everything works
fine. I haven't setup a cross dev system on the VM yet, but
will and expect no problems. The dist/version of Linux in my
VM is Kbuntu 14.04 32bit. The version of VirtualBox is 4.3.26
r98988. This is a great way to go if you don't run Windoze.
I'm strictly a Linux and Apple person and very happy in that
respect.

Probably the easiest way would be to do as Robert suggests

obstacle you may run into is have an sdcard reader recognized
in the VM. *if* even needed.
Depending on what you're trying to do, and how you want to do
it, a flash card reader may not even be needed. OSX should
have access to better tools for "flashing" an sdcard than
Windows. Then, one would / could just use various tools over
the host only network to transfer files between the VM and
OSX. If just simple executables, sshfs, netcat, and other
standard UNIX tool would work fine to transfer files directly
from one system to the other.

We don't 'provide' any toolchains..
Feel free to ping linaro about mac os x support, or setup
a vm..
