Ooh, now I see llvm-gcc is not cross-compiler in the terms of GCC. Okay, 
but what if I actually compile LLVM-gcc as cross-compiler for 64-bit 
x86-64 Linux. Then it is guaranteed to produce identical output on all 
the systems.

Question is: how the resulting LLVM IR will run on 32-bit machine? 
Should I create stubs for all called functions to convert between 32 and 
64-bit pointers? Or it won't run at all?
