[LLVMbugs] LLVM 2.7/OpenSolaris link failure, link commands missing key libraries

the list of components to link with is computed automatically.  Presumably
it is being computed wrong.  I suggest you take a look at how tools/llvm-config
works.  You might want to try LLVM from svn first just in case things work
better there.
