Yes. But I think there are a few things missing, depending on what you 
need. There's some LLDB library that is missing from the command line 
tools that is used for editor/IDE integration.

LLD, the LLVM linker [1]. As far as I understand it, it also support 
cross-platform linking. Using LDC, musl and LLD you have a fully working 
cross-compiler tool chain. You might need some extra libraries as well, 
depending on what you need.
