> When bringing up Hotspot onto new platforms, it is not always possible to compile hsdis because gcc is not yet
> available. For example, for Windows-AArch64 and macOS-AArch64.
> For some such platforms, it is possible to use LLVM as an alternative backend as it also supports a disassembler
> feature.
