It seems to me that I have to "port" LLVM using the System Library to my "Virtual Machine" (which also includes a bit of magic of the "Exokernel" operating system stuff).

Any pointers on where to read, Ideas to move on... wou...

If you're going to build your virtual machine out of LLVM components, why would you make those components...
