the native backend is preferred. The idea being that if you are planning on using the SPIR-V Translator, you build LLVM with it and then prefer using it. Otherwise we default to using the native backend.

Yeah that's probably a better option and something that we could handle on the chipStar side. Currently we use two separate builds for native-vs-translator
