Long story short: He started working on a compiler that uses a mutable register model for its IR, and now he's mad that LLVM's SSA model doesn't cleanly map to what he happened to be doing.

All ISAs are different yes, but there's a lot more to a compiler than just code generation. Much of the high level logic can be made totally ISA independent. Having a common IR just falls out of that naturally.

If you have specific criticisms of LLVM's IR (and there are valid ones - it's too low level for code generators for exotic VLIW architectures to easily use, for one) I'd be interested to hear them.
