Yes, it is exactly this way.  It is easy to compile a runtime library written in C or C++ into a library of LLVM code.  See https://github.com/andyjost/Sprite-3/blob/master/runtime/sprite-rt/C/Makefile for an example.

You may also be interested in linking compiled C++ and LLVM code generated by the EDSL into a single runtime library before the user code is available.  See these files:
