No. You need to run the node-gyp configure/build cycle once for each
platform that you target. Here is how you approximately would script
that on a UNIX system:
for OS in linux mac win; do
GYP_DEFINES="-DOS=$OS" CC=gcc-$OS CXX=g++-$OS node-gyp rebuild --arch=ia32
cp build/Release/module.node build/Release/module-$OS.node
done
CC and CXX need to point to the cross-compilers for the platform that
you're compiling for. If your module is C++ only, you can skip the CC
variable.

Provided you get everything to compile, yes. :-)
