It does not make much sense to request this. It's no hassel at all to 
use different compiler executables and RTL files for different targets. 
And a multi-Target compiler would be slower, as at very may lines 
case-switches between the different target would need to be handled, and 
the much bigger compiler-executable would be less efficient regarding 
the CPU's cache use.
