[LLVMdev] appropriate for run-time compilation of DSL?

[edA-qa mort-ora-y]

I wish to know whether LLVM is an appropriate choice for a project I'm
working on (excuse me if this is the wrong list for this question).

I have a domain-specific-language (DSL) that is currently compiled to a
custom byte-code and run in a VM. This is written in C++. The DSL can
call high-level functions which are actually callbacks into the current
non-DSL environment. That is, these functions /leave/ the VM and work in
the the normal code and return results back into the VM loop.

For performance reasons I would now like to compile this code to native
machine code. What I need is to be able to produce a binary block of
data which can be distributed to other machines and run directly on
them. That is, compilation would be on a central machine and worker
machines would receive the code and execute it. From the docs and
tutorial I'm unsure how I would go about doing this step.

Can somebody confirm that LLVM can be used for what I want and point me
somewhat in the right direction?
