Yes. I don't personally do that kind of stuff, so I don't keep up with
it, but Fortran cross compilers are bound to exist. Let's see... doing
the most obvious thing (googling "fortran cross compiler") pretty
quickly comes up with at least one good hit near the top. I yhink I
recall discussions of that one here also. From some Intel compiler docs,
"Intel® Fortran Compiler for Itanium(TM)-based Applications, or cross
compiler, runs on IA-32 systems but produces Itanium(TM)-based
applications." If you are going to complain that from one Intel
architecture to another isn't "cross enough" for you, then you are
getting into much more specific questions than whether such things as
Fortran cross compilers exist at all.

I also believe that the Gnu compilers can be built in cross-compiler
configurations, though I haven't done that myself and could be wrong.

And you mentioned Green Hills. I thought I recalled they did Fortran
cross compilers. Hmm. Quickly skimming their web site certainly finds
allusions to cross compilers and to Fortran compilers. Hmm, but I'm not
entirely sure I see the two explicitly linked. Well, not worth spending
a lot of my time on a casual request; you've obviously investigated more
thoroughtly that I have.
