I think they are tightly related. Looking at the compiler suite from the outside it would seem that parsing, options, run-time-libraries, STL support, Inter-procedures analysis, etc. would be very common across platforms because much of this is standards based. The code generation would be machine and OS specific. Also, much of the doc mentions all of their platforms and highlights which extensions are relevant for each.
