Really? I thought you were toying with JIT. :-)

Actually, I suspect there would be a lot of technical problems to solve,
notably because GCC is not a library and because passing it such complex
data structures may be far from trivial (see MELT).
Besides, for AOT, I was beguiled by Andy’s initial plan of using
exclusively Scheme tools such as Sassy.
