The lawyers, and IANAL, can still construe this to be reverse

If you already have the PSDK headers you could just opt to use those. 
There are things in those headers that won't work with gcc.  I don't
know them all.  One of the things used to be Intel versus AT&T assembler
syntax.  However, I understand that there are patches to gcc that allow
it to parse Intel assembler as well.
