Can LLVM IR (intermediate view) be used to create cross-platform (iphone and Android) ARM executables?

Question

I am considering possible ways to effectively create the target Android and iPhone application from the same code base, whether in C / C ++ / C # / Objective-C or Java (using VMKit).

LLVM looks promising, but I got a little confused about compatibility with various ARM CPU implementations, mainly in terms of how the graphic and sound code are “resolved” by the basic chipsets (ie should I encode specific ARM chipsets, or will higher level API, like OpenGL?).

I am a little versed in various Cross Dev products (e.g. Airplay SDK, MoSync (GPL-GCC), Unity3d, XMLVM, etc.), but what I really would like to do is either write in Java or use C / C ++, emit LLVM IR and create compatible ARM executables, if possible.

Sorry if any of the above is fuzzy.

thank

Rich
