[LLVMdev] "-relocation-model=static" does not work in llc compiler ?

[lipengcheng]

Another finding is when I use both -code-model=large and -relocation-model=pic (!!!!!note changed),
it still generate the static relocation. So does it mean  -relocation-model=pic does not like to work 
with  -code-model=large ? 

Thanks,
