Do you have a particular environment where that's an issue?

Porting incrementally using cross-compilation (from a working Clang 
else-platform) avoids creating a massive integation and testing effort 
at the end of the usual development schedule, after all.

Get the code generation working cross-platform earlier in the porting 
and development schedule, and implement cross-linking if nessary, and 
build out the tooling toward native builds from there.

Best don't try to do everything all at once and out at the end of the schedule.
