I guess you should try it. LLVM has the additional feature that you have optimizations which span several translation units.
It is able to produce bytecode and it has a virtual machine with a JIT compiler which executes in my experience not slower than native code.
Additionally you have the opurtunity to optimize delivered code based on real word profile data simply by optimizing the bytecode.
If a new optimizer is ready you can run it on your bytecode without compiling the whole project from scratch.
