Yes, LLVM supports TCO very well and building languages in general. I would recommend learning a bit about LLVM and llvm.org has some excellent documentation. Also, they have several resources to receive assistance. After you feel comfortable with LLVM, then looking at the problem within the MacRuby would should become much easier.
