The release notes say "compiler_rt now supports ARM targets". What else is needed? Keep in mind that I do not need (or want) Clang or any of the optimizers: I just want to generate small sequences of machine code in-memory (on the heap, I assume) and execute them.

By the way, LLVM comes with 66 projects (BrainF, bugpoint, Kaleidoscope, llc, etc.) and it's not obvious which one(s) I actually need to accomplish this "simple" use of LLVM. Is there a list of all the targets and what they are for?

Right, sorry, that's what I meant.
