I hope you realise that by running llvm-ld without -native you are actually
executing your program from the JIT.  I did a native compilation as follows:
used llvm-link to link all of the bitcode into "total.bc"; ran llc on total.bc,
producing "total.s"; did "g++ -o total total.s"; ran ./total.  It seems to work:

$ ./total
__l_personality called$

Of course it is probably supposed to work from the JIT too (I don't know
anything about the JIT), but it clearly doesn't: when I tried I got:

lli: lib/ExecutionEngine/JIT/JIT.cpp:624: void 
llvm::JIT::runJITOnFunctionUnlocked(llvm::Function*, const llvm::MutexGuard&): 
Assertion `!isAlreadyCodeGenerating && "Error: Recursive compilation detected!"' 
failed.
...

llvm::JIT::runJITOnFunctionUnlocked(llvm::Function*, llvm::MutexGuard const&) + 62
7  lli       0x0000000000d3f9c6 llvm::JIT::getPointerToFunction(llvm::Function*)

Ciao,

Duncan.
