That is because -L comes after the LLVM libraries.

Try

gcc t.c -W -Wall -o blah `llvm-config --cflags --ldflags --libs all`

However, if your linker is sensitive to library order, you may get
unresolved externals for -lpthread and other system libraries that
are list before the LLVM libraries on the llvm-config output.

If that happens try

gcc t.c -W -Wall -o blah -L/home/melis/llvm/lib `llvm-config --cflags --libs all --ldflags`

HTH.
