I've been on gambit for 6+ months now; and the more I dig into the internal *.scm's, the more I'm impressed -- anyone interested in forming a group to port this to LLVM as an exercise to better understand gambit internals? Something like meeting on irc 15 minutes every week or so to discuss would be really nice.
I'm very interested, but I just got tasked with creating a web site of some sophistication and it looks like I'll be drawn to the Clojure side of the Force, which at minimum will be educational (e.g. it's by default functional). But who knows....
Back then I got a snapshot of the initial cut by Arnaud Bergeron and Mathieu Larose from the former for placement in the Dumping Grounds, but didn't get a release from the latter for putting it there; I didn't try very hard at all and didn't follow up.
Mathieu, say the word and I'll put that snapshot up.

It's six months since this post. Any progress on the llvm backend?
The last time I compiled the Gambit-generated C code with LLVM (which wasn't so long ago) gsi failed at startup. (I know this isn't what you're referring to, but I presume the LLVM compiler may have the same difficulties compiling the LLVM intermediate representation.)
Hmmmm; I assume you used the gcc front end instead of Clang?
