Okay, try this command (after joining all the lines together):

llvm-g++ out.s -o out.exe -L/home/Michael/llvm-2.6/lib
-lLLVMX86AsmParser -lLLVMX86AsmPrinter -lLLVMX86CodeGen
-lLLVMSelectionDAG -lLLVMAsmPrinter -lLLVMCodeGen -lLLVMScalarOpts
-lLLVMTransformUtils -lLLVMipa -lLLVMAnalysis -lLLVMTarget -lLLVMMC
-lLLVMCore -lLLVMX86Info -lLLVMSupport -lLLVMSystem -lLLVMX86AsmParser
-lLLVMX86AsmPrinter -lLLVMX86CodeGen -lLLVMSelectionDAG -lLLVMAsmPrinter
-lLLVMCodeGen -lLLVMScalarOpts -lLLVMTransformUtils -lLLVMipa
-lLLVMAnalysis -lLLVMTarget -lLLVMMC -lLLVMCore -lLLVMX86Info
-lLLVMSupport -lLLVMSystem -limagehlp -lpsapi

Yes, the LLVM libraries are listed twice. And the system libraries are
moved to the end (this is required for avoiding an undefined reference).

Using VC++ with llvm-gcc may be tricky, but doable. Try Linux first.
