X86 is not very well suited as platform-independent code, as the instruction set is way too complex and convoluted to allow for efficient emulation / translation. ARM assembly might qualify for this, though I'd personally prefer PNaCl as it is completely platform-agnostic.

(and anyway, why would you even want to translate from X86 to other architectures when translation from bitcode is already implemented and well-tested in LLVM)
