Merge the source OSM files with for example osmosis, split them then and
process the result with mkgmap.  This will give you a gmapsupp file with
cross-country routing.  Note though that this will only work if the OSM
files are touching or slightly overlapping.  If you want to be sure
extract the data from a larger region like the Europe file from
Geofabrik and cut out the desired regions with osmosis --bp or --bb.
