Yes, any pointer anywhere. I recall someone posting a doc about
a compromise solution a few years back, but I'd have to do some
digging to figure out what the approach was.
LLVM actually comes with a quite expensive GC support
infrastructure: http://llvm.org/docs/GarbageCollection.html. As
far as I'm aware, it is not widely used in terms of the
"top-tier" LLVM projects, so there might be quite a bit of work
involved in getting that to run.
