For your own use you are allowed to do pretty much anything, but if you
want to redistribute the result then the GPLv2 license of XBMC needs to
be fulfilled, which pretty much by default rules out anything you do not
have full sources to unless you can squeeze it throught as one of "the
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs".
