Personally I know a few people very interested in this topic and I'd 
love to see the work upstream. llvm has many uses beyond just pure 
static compilation and unless others object - I think it fits perfectly 
fine in the llvm family of tools. Also it will eventually be needed for 
FreeBSD in their mission to totally replace binutils and GNU stuff.
