Pretty sure that the prospects of successfully pitching the LLVM upstream to include a 6502 (or any 8/16-bit arch) backend are only slightly better than a snowball’s chances in hell.

Worth noting that LLVM has AVR and MSP430 backends, so there's no particular resistance to 8-bit/16-bit targets.

Oh, thanks for the correction. I couldn’t find a conprehensive list of backends (which is weird) and the lists I did find only included 16+ bit targets.
