--- Comment #5 from Eli Friedman <efriedma at quicinc.com> ---
Okay, that's clear.

There is no support for converting an assembler file to LLVM IR.  And there is
no plan to implement that.  It would be complex to implement, and it's not
clearly useful.

The way LTO generally works with LLVM is that the input is some mix of LLVM IR
files and native object files.  The LTO process converts the IR to one or more
native object files, then everything is linked as native object files.
