This error happens because you are telling clang to compile, link, and produce an executable, but you are also telling it to emit LLVM bitcode.  These two options are incompatible.  If you want bitcode, you should add -c.  If you want LLVM assembly, you should use -S.  If you want a binary, then you should not use -emit-llvm.
