Hi,

Has there been any interest in using libgccjit as a JIT compilation library 
for Racket? Owing to the library's use of GCC as a code generation backend, 
libgccjit:

* Supports a wider range of architecture (as compared to GNU lightning)

* Uses a C-like IR to represent code, as opposed to the virtual instruction 
set used by lightning.

* Allows JIT compilers to generate better optimized code, and generate 
debugging information for running JIT compiled on a debugger.

The library is still in alpha, but is pretty promising. While I haven't 
completely understood Racket internals, I would be interested in knowing if 
any effort towards writing a JIT compiler for Racket using libgccjit is 
worth it.

Best,
Vibhav Pant
