I can't look into this until tomorrow, but AFAIR there's a few things
that need to be modified before glibc can be cross compiled on a Mac
(e.g. you need to be able to install the Linux kernel headers which
kind of wants gettext)

For now, if you wanted, you could look into my "engineer's" build
script to build (a fork of) crosstool-ng where I focused on
build/target GNU/Linux (including raspi and raspi2), OSX and Windows.
I mean to merge as much of it as I can upstream, but for now, if you
wanted to try it:

git clone https://github.com/mingwandroid/ctng-firefox-builds
cd ctng-firefox-builds
./build.sh --target-os=raspi2 (or raspi if you're targeting the older model).

I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with it. The point of
build.sh is to merge lots of feature branches from
https://github.com/diorcety/crosstool-ng (my staging ground for
upstreaming things) and also to create a sample .config file, it also
collects my ramblings and investigations into crosstool-ng over the
past few years, so it's petty ugly! I re-sync my feature branches with
upstream fairly frequently.

Best regards,

Ray.
