But even if LLVM would support all targets that FPC supports the core

Actually, I wouldn't have any interest working on a compiler using llvm
as a backend because it leaves only the boring front end work :) Not to
mention the maintainance problems when depending on an external cg
written not in pascal, the probably significant speed drop etc.

I've already thought whether I should write that you are one who is at most against LLVM as a backend (though I do mostly agree with you), but then I thought that I leave it just as general as I wrote it ^^
