The temporary directory is created by the driver automatically, the
same as with gcc (see include/llvm/CompilerDriver/Main.inc, if you're
interested in details).

I think that this should be the responsibility of the build system.
Example (Makefile syntax):

$(BuildMode)/%.o : %.c
    llvmc -c $SOURCE -o $(BuildMode)/$TARGET

$(BuildMode)/$(ProgramName) : $(ObjectFiles)
    llvmc $(ObjectFiles) -o $(BuildMode)/$(ProgramName)

This is basically what LLVM's build system does.

There is also the -save-temps option which was recently modified to
behave like GCC 4.5. You can now do:

llvmc -save-temps=obj -o MyTempDir MyFile.c

This will produce an executable named a.out in the current directory
and save all temporary files to MyTempDir.
