I think it depends on which option you are using at runtime. e.g
"-fno-bin-amdil -fbin-exe" will run the .isa while "fbin-amdil
-fno-bin-exe" should run the il. By default if nothing is specified .isa
will run.

Yes, it might. If the isa fails(which will for most devices) we might
fallback to il which is more versatile.
