Yes, although that configuration is not as well tested as the static one.

(pass -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON to cmake before building LLVM. Be sure to
remove the LLVM files you previously installed before installing the new
build)

IMO linking your shared library as a C++ application is the easier path:

set_target_properties(your-shared-object PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE CXX)
