GRUB, the Grand Unified Build that the Lilypond music engraving system
uses does something like that.

If you build the GNU Binutils in a cross-compilation mode you can do that.

Our examples ought to at least mention that one can use Gnu ld on any
platform that ld runs on to link executables for any platform it
generates binraries for.

Even better would be to provide instructions for building such a
cross-linker.  I'd love to write those instructions myself it but I've
got a lot on my plate right now.
