Those instructions are out of date; the current version of llvm-gcc
doesn't generate bitcode files unless you explicitly ask it to
generate them.  The correct procedure with a current LLVM and llvm-gcc
is something like the following:

llvm-g++ a.cpp -c -emit-llvm
llvm-g++ b.cpp -c -emit-llvm
llvm-link a.bc b.bc -o program.bc
llc -march=c program.bc -o program.c
gcc program.c
