This corresponds to:
FunctionPass::addToPassManager(llvm::FunctionPassManagerT*,
llvm::AnalysisUsage&)
which should be linked into "opt". It is part of libLLVMCore.a

I don't know. It works fine on Linux. This could be a darwin linking
issue.  Please note that we upgraded the ltdl library used to load
Darwin shared objects after release 1.8. There were libtool release
notes that indicated better support for Darwin so we upgraded to
1.5.22.  

You may want to apply the same patches to your 1.8 sources and rebuild.
That *might* help. The diffs are attached for lib/System/ltdl.h and
lib/System/ltdl.c

Yeah, I don't think its so much a problem with building LLVM or
LLVMHello. Rather, its the way shared libraries work on Darwin.

My idea is above. Others (who know Darwin much better) might have other
ideas.

Sure.
