You don't need to get the compiler onto the target, you can use a cross compiler, which runs on whatever OS you have on your dev machine which spits out binaries for your target hardware.
That's basically the process for targeting a new machine. In gcc/ada/gcc-interface/Makefile.in, there are a number of lines that look like:
ifeq ($(strip $(filter-out m68k% wrs vx%,$(targ))),)
these match particular filters, that one is matching vxworks for m68k. To target new hardware, you would need to add a new section there, they define which packages are to be built for that target's runtime.
