You are right.

No.
In the future this was very useful possibility - GNU code generator
supports much CPUs. Here, there is one problem - to link code generator
with Component Pascal. And another problem - dynamic linker and
garbage collector, I think, must be implemented for each platform.
But presently while no such possibility, at this time we can use
Ofront:

   Oberon-2 -> Ofront -> C -> GCC

I uses Ofront for the crossplatform game development -
for MS-DOS, Win32 and ZX Spectrum (8 bit CPU Z80).
Ofront works much well. (Thanks to Dr. Josef Templ)
