That signature is "\x7fELF" read as a 32-bit little-endian integer. It's 
not a bytecode file but an object file, executable or dynamic library. 
Did you perhaps forget to tell your compiler to generate LLVM IR as 
output? (llvm-gcc needs '-emit-llvm' on the command line to do so, 
otherwise it defaults to the native format. Such as ELF if you're on Linux)
