Misread the part about the GC. Sure you do need a GC when using C as an intermediate language. If done well, you can get long pieces of code with no need to touch the heap, and hopefully your backend (the C compiler in this case) will be able to optimize it, at least a little. I'm sure LLVM would do a lot better job there.
