The ESP8266 community has their own, community-developed GCC port for the LX106 that they use. It was one of the reasons that it took so long for there to be a practical way to run your own code on it. I believe it was based on an existing out-of-tree port for one of the other not-quite-compatible chips in the family.

I'd be interested in running Rust on the ESP8266 - are you aware of any efforts of getting LLVM to work on the LX106?

the C backend to LLVM was the most promising way to get Rust on a lot of embedded devices, sadly, it has stalled.
