building toolchains on mac: .dmg is one way to get a case-sensitive filesystem

I'm having a go at using crosstools to build the Linux kernel from
MacOS. ...

One small addition to crosstool-howto:  the filesystem you build on
apparently should be case-sensitive.  At least, Nikolaus Schauller's
build.sh complains if it's case-insensitive.  One way to achieve this
is to build and mount a .dmg filesystem.  You can do so from
Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.

Cheers,
