LLVM platform support is neither sufficient (rustc needs to be taught about the platform) not technically necessary (you could write a rustc backend that targets a platform that LLVM doesn't, like modifying cranelift or once the gcc backend reaches maturity).

Wasn't that a whole tent pole of LLVM?
