[LLVMdev] Creating a new project using LLVM

to compile C code like gzip, you need to use an LLVM front-end like clang or
dragonegg.  Probably you should compile to LLVM bitcode, for example using
"-c -O2 -emit-llvm" with clang.  You can then compile that to assembler
using an unmodified llc, and an llc that incorporates your changes.

Ciao, Duncan.
