Unfortunately, FSF policy prevents us from having independent frontends and
backends. The reason for the policy is to prevent parts of GCC from being
used with proprietary compilers.
Thus, at present, if you want to feed IR into gcc, you need to hack gcc first.
You might find it easier to write an IR to C conversion pass, and then feed
the C code into gcc.
