           Summary: Setting target data layout and target triple in
                    llvm-ld and llc
           Product: compiler-rt
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: compiler-rt

I'm writing a compiler that outputs llvm-ir and uses the command line tools to
generate executables. I'm using llvm-ld for standalone executables and llc for
shared libraries. The compiler should work under windows, linux and mac.
The actual problem is that i have to set the target data layout for the bitcode
file. But the bitcode file is platform independend except the one line
containing the target data layout. An other problem is to find out the
correct/current data layout or target triple.

So my suggestion is to add command line parameters to llvm-ld and llc to set
the target triple and the target data layout. I also need some
helpers/placeholders like "-p:$bitwidth:$bitwidth-" to not have to parse 'uname
-a' (which does not exist under windows) each time i call the llvm-ld or llc.

So I would be delighted if this gets implemented.
