At least the ISO will then have MBR, GPT and APM entries for the file 
macboot.img.

I did that, and also tried the xorriso command you posted.

I uploaded both ISO images on http://slint.fr/misc/MacBoot resp. renamed:
slint64-14.1-Thomas_mkisofs.iso
slint64-14.1-Thomas_xorriso.iso

I still don't know if one can boot a Mac off an USB stick with these
images dd-ed (and won't be able to check before tomorrow, hoping that
one of my computer repairmen neighbors will accept to try, as I own no
Mac)

At least I did check that there's no apparent regression, as I could
boot using each of these two ISO images as virtual CDs on a vmplayer
VM (BIOS as well as EFI firmware), off an USB stick on a vmplayer
VM with an EFI firmware, and off an USB key on my physical Thinkpad T61.

So so far, so good... Expect news tomorrow hopefully for a test on a Mac.

Meanwhile, if one of you happens to have a Mac at hand and can try
booting it of an USB stick with one of these ISOs that would be great of 
course!

Thanks and have a night day,

Didier
