My mistake. They're planning to move away from the gcc backend, and I thought I had read C-- would eventually go away given it's not really being actively developed anymore, but I can't seem to find where I got that idea. I'd wager their C-- support will depend on how well LLVM adapts to support their needs in the near future, since maintaining native backends is a lot of work.
