Thanks! Moving t.c to the front of the command-line fixes it (although
--ldflags still needs to go before --libs in the above line). And I need
to link with g++ instead of gcc.

I guess I didn't figure this one out because when you normally manually
specify libraries they always go *after* the source file argument.
Splitting the llvm-config call into a cxxflags and a --libs/--ldflags part
and putting the sources in between is probably cleaner in this respect.
