Indeed, a fpc->js code generator would have a rather limited use. A LLVM backend instead could be use on many more levels, and for example could improve (or replace) the compilation process on iOS.
Improve in which regard? Experience showed that the more tools involved the less comfortable the use of FPC is. Within a few minutes you can build on any platform a win32 cross compiler (if the CPU is fast enough) because no external tools are involved. Compare this with cross compiling to linux (no to talk about darwin): takes usually 1-2 hours to setup: first, download, configure and build binutils, then sort out the libraries and copy them to host system, and then with some luck (if binutils are not broken), building fpc might work.
