There's no problem with that, and in fact it's easier that LGPL code:
GPL means the whole code of the patches using Xth Sense has to be
available, and provided along a binary Max patch.

And for proprietary compilers:  people can perfectly write GPL code with
Visual Studio, and its compiler, or compile GPL code with Intel's
compiler.

HTH,
