I recently switched from Mac to Windows 10. It's not absolutely horrible. I also find it depends on what your build 
system is doing. Copying lots of files around is slow. I've been experimenting with CMake and Ninja for a BSP I'm 
working on and it's pretty fast. It's around 300 files and I can build it in about a minute. I imagine a well structured
 Makefile running with make -j would be pretty good too.

Thanks.   I've been browsing the documentation and notice that in certain areas, there are only references to Windows 
and Linux hosts, but not to macOS hosts.   Examples:

http://www.qnx.com/products/apps-media/download.html
and
http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.6.0_anm11_wf10/#com.qnx.doc.am.embed_browser/topic/build_image_transfer_to_target.

I wonder what options a mac developer has when faced with the above.

Sorry for the newbie questions.   We're in the process of evaluating QNX.
