That operator is defined in the C++ standard library. You probably
don't want to be linking the output of your compiler with LLVM
libraries, they'd be what you'd use to build the compiler itself.

However, g++ should find the required function anyway. It's possible
you have to add a "-lstdc++" (or -lc++ if you're using libc++, etc).
But it makes me wary about the rest of your toolchain.
