Since Firefox (and i assume Firefox OS) uses the new "asm.js" subset of
javascript (a js subset that looks like assembly which can be converted

couldn't FPC generate asm.js code instead of x86 assembly/machine code?
Obviously that wouldn't solve the GUI issue (one will still need to
implement a HTML-based (or whatever) LCL backend, but i think with
canvas nowadays that is possible).
Or perhaps even FPC=>LLVM backend=>emscripten=>javascript but perhaps
that's a couple of conversions too many...
I would keep out LLVM and emscripten and just directly generate asm.js
code which is then simply compatible to the libraries provided by the
emscripten project.
