All LLVM is in SSA form.  However, the cfrontend uses allocs and
explicit loads and stores so it doesn't have to worry about this.  The
pass mem2reg converts the code with memory locations for each variable
into code with variables in virtual registers that are in SSA form.

use 
llvm-gcc -Wa,-disable-opt -Wl,-disable-opt
to have llvm-gcc skip all optimizations.  This is very very ugly code.
You can then run optimization by hand using opt.  See the web pages for
more information there.

llc -march=c does that.

LLVM IR is defined as being in SSA form.  It will not verify if it is
not.
