</div>Unfortunately, you have merely repeated your previous statement. I don’t have enough here to diagnose nor even speculate what is going on.<br>
<br>
If you can provide the object file, it would be helpful as I am unable to reproduce this issue. Although, I ran it via clang, I see no reason that the output would be different as the backend is the same.<br>
<br>
The triple is certainly correct (particularly for llc, clang will treat armv7-windows as thumbv7-windows). How did you generate the bit code? My testing has usually started from C or LLVM IR rather than bit code, but, I suspect that shouldn’t be a real issue.<br>
<br>
With the given information, the only thing that comes to mind is that your environment is setup improperly, resulting in the wrong link.exe being invoked.<br>

The object file that we generate should be pretty compatible with MSVC. If you have specific cases where we are generating something that is incompatible, I would be quite interested in hearing about that.<br>
