[cfe-dev] Generating IR for a specific arch

[Sixstringartist]

Could someone please clarify the proper way to target a particular arch 
with Clang -emit-llvm?

In the past, I used the following

./clang -emit-llvm -march=armv5te ./input.c

This had to be changed due to armv5te selecting a cpu (arm1026ejs) 
which did not have a matching entry in getLLVMArchSuffixForARM. To fix 
this I started using -mcpu=arm1020e

Both mcpu=arm1020e and march=armv5te result in warnings of unused 
arguments and attempt to link using LLVMgold.so rather than produce a 
bitcode file

What is the proper workflow here? Should I be using -target? My goal is 
to create a bitcode file with the target triple of 
armv5te-none-linux-gnueabi.

Is the above behavior expected (i.e. should I not expect march and mcpu 
to control my target when generating bitcode)?

Thanks
