While certainly possible, I don't see the point.  GWT was created in
large part to:

1) Relieve developers of having to code for cross-browser differences
2) Provide a familiar OO development paradigm (Java)
3) Provide for the web the kind of rich IDE and debugging enjoyed by
other languages (Java)

Flex already addresses cross-browser issues.  And the Flex Builder,
already built upon Eclipse, couldn't be more similar to the GWT
development experience.  Personally, I see zero advantage to a flex
cross-compiler.  You loose more than you gain, other than a
theoretical possibility to flip a switch and have the same code
generate two client types.  However, given that anyone doing serious
GWT also has to interact with JS and CSS in various ways, it's hard to
see how a truly common HTML/JS/CSS/Flex codebase could be created.
