Sorry for the late answer, I missed this post:

PaCo stands for Parallel Compiler. It was an acronym for scope parallel
compiler, where every scope was compiled by an independent thread.
See Patrik Realis PhD Thesis, Chap. 5 (available here: https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/72831) . As given in his Fig. 5.1, PaCo 
consists of the following modules:

	Control and Coordination: PC
	Service: StringPool PCM
	Metadata: PCT
	Back-End:  PCLIR PCBT
	Symbol-File Plugin: PCOM
	Object-File Plugin: PCOF
	Active Oberon Parser: PCP PCS PCB PCC
	Assembler Plugin: PCA386
	Emitter Plugin: PCG386

Yes (but Pablo answered this one already correctly):

Flexible Oberon Cross (X) compiler.
