[LLVMdev] I try to compile to LLVM code

[Samuel Crow]

llc is the bitcode to native Assembly compiler.  Once you have it compiled you 
can assemble the output with the gas assembler and link with the C runtime 
library using ld.

If you want to run the bitcode directly, you use lli instead.  That uses a JIT 
by default or, if JIT is unsupported on your platform, an interpreter.  Also, 
when running lli from the command line, I don't think you need to do anything 
special to link the C runtime library since lli already uses it.

If you want to use garbage collection, you need to run a programming language 
that supports garbage collection like Objective C 2.0.  By default, C doesn't 
support garbage collection.
