Is there any way to include bitcode support in the produced binary, when AOT compilation is performed?

Since avian itself compiles the binary and not the system compiler is used (so that the option to turn on bitcode could be enabled), I have the fear that bitcode is not possible at this stage.
Am I wrong?

I assume you mean LLVM bitcode. No, there's currently no support for
that. Avian's JIT compiler converts Java bytecode directly to x86 or
ARM machine code rather than using the LLVM backend.

Someone could add support for using Avian with the LLVM backend, but
that would be a big project.
