Do you mean the stage 2 compiler?  If so yes - in principle.  But in 
practice the binary-dist machinery doesn't work properly for 
cross-compilers yet, so it's hard to install it on the RPi.  If you have 
a shared network filesystem then perhaps 'make install' works, or if you 
copy the build tree to your RPi at the same location as your build 
machine, then maybe it will work.

Cheers,
