This is something I've been looking into lately.  Currently, you can use
LLVMContext::emitError to send an error message to a registered error
handler (see LLVMContext::setInlineAsmDiagnosticHandler).  The handler can
write the message to a log file, console, etc..

I want to extend this to support error/warning/info messages, and also
associate source information if available.
