First of all, is this possible?

If so:

What challenges would I encounter in making an XCode imitation for iPhone/iPod development for Windows or Linux?

I was thinking about using gcc as the actual compiler for the objecitve-c. Will that work?

It doesn't need to compile to iPhone OS until it is to be tested on the device or submitted to the app store. Perhaps it will be easier to compile to the local OS format (Windows or Linux) until "prime-time".
