As Rust is llvm based, you don't need to compile it to C. Just write a backend that translates LLVM IR to C instead of x86_64. The IR is very C looking, it's probably overly complex. Compiling down to asm, lot of information is lost regarding memory layout etc, so it's not the best source for generating code.
