Kinda-sorta.  AOT-compiled binaries cannot be treated the same as a
binary generated from the C compiler, they are linked to the machine
they were AOT'd on (for various reasons).

What I was saying would be something like a C# front-end for GCC that
would generate a native ELF or PE executable (e.g., no bytecode or any
of that, just C#->Assembler translation like what C and C++ go through).
