I don't think so.  Data representations won't change, and the backend
will know how to generate the C calling convention, so it should cost
the same.

Nothing has happened yet.  The student starts June 1 or so.  We'll
evaluate at the end of August.  As to the C backend, it shouldn't be
too hard to keep around.  But even then there's still some portability
issues remaining like word sizes and alignment restrictions.
