Actually, I suspect there would be a lot of technical problems to solve, notably because GCC is not a library and because passing it such complex data structures may be far from trivial (see MELT). Besides, for AOT, I was beguiled by Andy’s initial plan of using exclusively Scheme tools such as Sassy. Thanks, Ludo’.
