Gambit is getting backends that include x86 and JavaScript Real Soon Now. There has been LLVM work, but I don't think it progressed very far.

+1 for mentioning Gambit-C. I don't use Gambit-C anymore, but I used to use it a fair amount for writing small utility programs. Gambit-C can be used to build very small and efficient executables. Gambit-C doesn't have the huge library that Racket or Chicken have but it is great for building small command line utilities, etc.
