The toolchain that it will fit into doesn't have a linker as such, so I want to use assembly as the default output. I've got to the point of emitting working custom assembly for very simple C programs (i.e. ones that don't rely on libraries). At the moment, I'm doing this through clang-cc and llc:

It should define a macro (as shown above) to allow the target to be identified by source code. I was thinking of doing this using llvmc to capture the above command-line. Is that the recommended approach?

clang-cc does not longer exist, so you should not rely on it and use clang instead.

You should be able to use it exactly the same way that you was using gcc (it is designed to be a drop in replacement), so "clang -arch my_arch -DMY_ARCH -S -o - in.c" should works.
