This is a very interesting idea. The build system currently isn't
really setup in a way to make this possible, but this could likely be
changed in our new build system, Hadrian. Also, I suspect this would
require some adjustments to the C code generator, which very likely has
some platform dependence in its output.

Perhaps you'd like to try picking up this task?

Cheers,
