Here is the build process I'm using for my project:  I have a program 
written in LLVM assembly that is converted to bit code using llvm-as.  I 
have anther file written in C that is compiled to bit code using 
llvm-gcc --emit-llvm.  These two bit code files are then linked with 
llvm-link and the resulting bit code is assembled with llc to yield the 
assembly file I'm using.

$ llvm-config --ldflags --libs x86

 -lLLVMX86CodeGen

 -lLLVMSystem

No, the assembler file was generated by llvm-as.  I did use the same 
llvm-g++ to compile the C source file to bit code though.

I do have access to VC++ and Linux g++ and will attempt to build using these 
tools.  I have tried configure&make to build LLVM, but the build process 
fails.  This is why I moved to CMake.
