I suppose you also have the gold plugin with the also-emit-llvm support. 
It is in the mainline llvm, and I ported it back to 2.7.

The same error happened for both of them: the modified 2.7, and a 
mainline I checked out three weeks ago.

This problem is reproducible while compiling flex-2.5.35.tar.gz and many 
others (mysql and cherokee). I set the following:

export PATH="$LLVMPREFIX/bin:$LLVMGCCPREFIX/bin:$PATH"
export CC="llvm-gcc -use-gold-plugin -Wl,-plugin-opt=also-emit-llvm"
export CXX="llvm-g++ -use-gold-plugin -Wl,-plugin-opt=also-emit-llvm"
export RANLIB=/bin/true
export CFLAGS="-O4 -g"

then configure, make, and then hit the error.

The error only happens if the CFLAGS has -g in it.

Thanks,
