Saab has the engineering knowledge and turbocharging expertise. GM may have gained some of that, but turbocharging is hardly proprietary to GM, nor is engineering. There may of course be patent issues involved that could make this messier.
The big issue would be the platforms, and if GM won't share the tooling then that is indeed bad news. OTOH, though, GM is happily selling Buicks in China, so a manufacturing deal for certain platforms would make sense.
The 9-4X is a problem as it is the second model in the line-up. Without it, Saab is a one-model make, and that dog won't hunt.
