If you're wanting native assembler code, one way to do it would be:

llvmgcc -o ackerman ackerman.c # Produces ackerman.bc, a linked LLVM
                                # bytecode file
llc -o ackerman.s ackerman.bc  # Generates native assembly from linked
                                # LLVM bytecode


Note that this will statically link all of the library functions in libc 
that are currently available as LLVM bytecode, so this file may be a 
little large.

If you want the native code for only the code in ackerman.c, just 
replace the first line with:

llvmgcc -c -o ackerman.bc ackerman.c # Compiles but doesn't link
