Notice that much more is necessary for cross-compilation than just the
compiler. You need the cross-assembler, cross-linker, and
cross-libraries.  Providing cross-libraries is not possible for
non-GNU systems, unless somebody has created free look-alikes of the
system headers for a platform.

Given that creating the libraries is quite difficult, I doubt that
providing off-the-shelf cross compiler is valuable.
