folkertdev, My first concrete result of #RustNL: zlib-rs now runs with the #rust cranelift backend
This required implementing some intrinsics that the cranelift backend didn't yet support

https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift/pull/1488With some help from bjorn3 this was reasonably straightforward. I think the PRs are good templates for of someone wanted to work on a real compiler and implement further SIMD functionality. This issue lists some missing intrinsics
