Yes, LLVM is ideal for this. Using LLVM to JIT compile OCaml<->C interop stubs should be quite easy. I did a bit of this in some of the OCaml Journal article that were on LLVM. You could also kill two birds with one stone by creating an OCaml<->HLVM bridge with it. That would make it easier to create a bigarray from OCaml and call into high-performance parallel numerical code to chomp on it.
