Cross Compile From Mac using Debian VM

Normally I use DISTCC but it is not great when there are compile errors and the linking process is still done on the RPi

The benefits of the below workflow:

Compile using the RPi as your source disk (no copying back app binaries - single point of OF source)
No Homebrew/Macports/crosstool-ng or fighting with Yosemite
Conceptually should work cross-platform

Components:
VirtualBox with Debian VM and cross-compiler
RPi with OF installed/SMB configured with mount point as / and read/write access

Workflow:
Mount Pi and edit OF projects over SMB
SSH into Debian VM to compile
Separate SSH into RPi to run apps
