Compile OCaml with Fil-C #27

See https://github.com/pizlonator/llvm-project-deluge/blob/deluge/Manifesto.md. It would be interesting to measure the performance hit. There is 200x performance hit compared to C programs here. Given that OCaml itself gets memory safety thanks to type safety, the performance penalty may be much lower than 200x.

The topic really sounds interesting. I would really like to work on this. I will first hack my way into the OCaml bytecode runtime and see how it goes.
