This:

	http://forge.ispras.ru/projects/abi-compliance-checker/repository/entry/trunk/INSTALL.txt

seems to suggest that the latest version, 1.9.1, does support Windows and Mac OS X.  They also mention Linux and FreeBSD; my guess is that it could work on all ELF-based systems that use the GNU toolchain.  It might also work on ELF-based systems that don't, e.g. Solaris, if you install GNU binutils.

OK, so maybe you just ignore that site and look at the forge.ispras.ru site:

instead.
