Abhi,
From your brief description it would seem like you are using an Intel platform (Mac OS/X?) to develop (debug-edit-debug...) for a non-Intel platform. Then when the application is in a sufficiently good working state, compile for the non-Intel platform using the non-Intel compiler on the target platform. During this Intel based development phase you would like to have use of "procedure pointer".
As a work around, available under Windows, and therefore likely available under Linux/OS/X, would be to declare the sharable datain a module as a user defined type and have the module contain a pointer to the user defined type. Then, in place of using ALLOCATE to obtain the memory perform the allocation usinga Memory Mapped File (availableunder Windows and hopefully under Linux). Your "application" canexist as multiple procedureson your system each of whichcan then have multiple pointers, one for its data and other pointers foreach of the otherrunning procedures. This technique would best on a single SMP system. With a small amount of programming on your part might get you what you need or at least close enough to what you need for development.
