[LLVMdev] llc generated assembly does not work with gcc 3.4.4

[herz]

The ll file:

; ModuleID = 't.bc'
target datalayout =
"e-p:32:32:32-i1:8:8-i8:8:8-i16:16:16-i32:32:32-i64:64:64-f32:32:32-f64:64:64-f80:128:128-v64:64:64-v128:128:128-a0:0:64-f80:32:32-n8:16:32"
target triple = "i686-pc-win32"

@.str = private constant [13 x i8] c"hello world\0A\00" ; <[13 x i8]*>
[#uses=1]

define i32 @main(i32 %argc, i8** %argv) nounwind {
entry:
  %retval = alloca i32                            ; <i32*> [#uses=2]
  %argc.addr = alloca i32                         ; <i32*> [#uses=1]
  %argv.addr = alloca i8**                        ; <i8***> [#uses=1]
  store i32 0, i32* %retval
  store i32 %argc, i32* %argc.addr
  store i8** %argv, i8*** %argv.addr
  %call = call i32 (i8*, ...)* @printf(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([13 x
i8]* @.str, i32 0, i32 0)) ; <i32> [#uses=0]
  %0 = load i32* %retval                          ; <i32> [#uses=1]
  ret i32 %0
}

declare i32 @printf(i8*, ...)

the llc command line is simply:  llc t.bc (where t.bc is the file used
to generate the ll file shown, of course)

llc --version gives:

Low Level Virtual Machine (http://llvm.org/):
  LLVM (win32 vc8.0) version 2.600000e+000
  DEBUG build.
  Built Dec  3 2009 (01:18:42).

  Registered Targets:
    amdil  - ATI graphics cards
    x86    - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
    x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64


I've read in the docu (which appears to be somewhat out of date) that
one cannot generate binaries on win32 systems.
The thing I don't understand is why I cannot generate assembly that is
compatible with gcc (albait the cygwin version of gcc, but
certainly cygwin gcc reads the same mnemonics as the unix version??).
I've tryed several llc switches to produce compatible output but failed.
