    When using llvm-link I ran into problems with opaque pointers that I couldn't work around because llvm-link failed to parse the `-opaque-pointers` option. It seems to me that the problem is simply that the commandline options in question are initialized with the `LLVMContext` which is only created after the options are parsed. Simply changing the order (as is done in the attached patch) fixes this problem.
