Hi O'Neil,
After hearing Tony Graham's lightening talk at the XML Summer School I
also had a look at doing this using LLVM. Like you I am using VMKit
and it sounds like we have both made about the same progress. I have
not investigated GCJ at all as it seemed to me that LLVM was the right
tool for the job.
I think you would be better seeking help on the LLVMdev mailing list
and in particular trying to attract the attention of Nicolas Geoffray
- http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2011-July/041438.html
I would love to hear how you get on with this, and likewise if I make
any progress I will let you know...

Dear XSLT community,
I have recently been looking at the possbilities of making XSLT 2.0/3.0
processor available to the C/C++ world.
At present there seems to be a real shortage or a lack of support for
anything greater than XSLT 1.0 (i.e libxslt, Xalan, etc).
The benefits are clearly to be seen: having a fullfledged XSLT 2.0 in C
would be great for the PHP/Python/Ruby/... communities, who currently rely
on libxslt.
So I have been looking at tools that can convert Saxon to native machine
code. Namely LLVM and GCJ.
I have had much better success using GCJ given that I managed to compile
Saxon-HE to native machine code and actually get it to execute some
stylesheets without any problems.
However is GCJ the right technology to use for the task of converting Java
code to native machine code, since it is somewhat obsolete?
The LLVM project seems much more active, but I am finding it difficult to
get anything working. I have tried the VMKit which relies on LLVM to compile
some helloworld examples to machine code, but even that seems cumbersome.
I would be grateful for feedback from anyone with experience of these
technologies.
Kind regards,
O'Neil
