The Plan 9 compilers work exactly like this, every compile is a cross-compile. It's extremely convenient because you can do all of your builds on your really fast machine for all of your other machines or if you're using a slow machine. It's one of the reasons I can live happily with a raspberry pi as one of my main workstations. All you need to do to build for a different target is change $objtype.
