You forgot to reply to the list. Also CC'ing LLVMdev.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice that '...'. (Silly me...)

You can use -mtriple to specify the target triple to llc, and -mcpu to
specify the CPU type:
llc t.bc -mtriple=thumbv7-eabi -mcpu=cortex-a8 -view-legalize-dags

Of course, specifying the triple shouldn't be necessary, since Clang
encodes that information into the BC file. If you disassembled the BC
file into human-readable IR, you'd see something like this at the top:

target triple thumbv7-eabi

so you should only have to specify the CPU type with -mcpu.

Hope that helps.
