Periodic reminder: Don’t compile to C.

I've written compilers targeting both C and LLVM, and while LLVM does make some things easier, it also makes things like FFI harder (even with C), and like Rich says you give up a lot of portability.

You give up some portability. Not “a lot” of portability. Compiling to C also makes things like proper debug info and stack maps/register maps for GC harder (and by “harder” I mean “impossible”)

There are none with universal availability. Only C has it.
