Compiling to LLVM Bitcode

I'm in a hurry right now, sorry for the short reply:

What exactly have you tried, and how did it fail? If you just 
used the .bc files generated by CMake, I think the issue might be 
that the C parts of druntime/Phobos (e.g. zlib) are missing. This 
is a known issue 
(https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/220), and should be 
fairly easy to fix.

I'm not sure if you are on the right track here. druntime 
contains a lot of stuff that is just not translatable to 
JavaScript that easily (GC, threading, …).
