Actually, take a look at GCC and most other cross platform tools and you will discover this is exactly how they work. Firefox is the same way, and so is Mono. I don't know about OpenOffice, but I would expect that to be the same, too. The proper way to develop any cross-platform application is to abstract away the differences, which means writing a driver for each platform that has a specified API, and any platform that provides that API should run the application.
