Microsoft's DXC is a successor to FXC that fixes these issues. We could consume it, and thereby resolve the above problems. Another approach might be to write a compilation backend for Firefox's shader transpiler (Naga) for DXIL, so we can emit it directly. :jgilbert has noted that our most likely path to success is to work with Microsoft directly, and ensure that DXC is suitable to ship for us if we run into obstacles.
