Yes indeed. LDC will output the IR when you use the
`-output-ll` (human readable) or `-output-bc` (binary

In theory, yes indeed. What may be important is that the LLVM
versions match (the LLVM version used to build LDC, and the
LLVM version of that 8051 fork). With every new LLVM version,
the IR may change in subtle ways...

As far as I know, GCC also uses an IR (it's used for LTO).

Why, then, doesn't anything that targets llvm simply target
everything else? D is not just for the ones listed but also for
many other platforms? is it simply because no one has implemented
the transformations to prove it works?
