However,when I use the same method to complie Mysql, I find its makefile can only be generated by cmake. The problem is the makefile generated by cmake is too complicated to understand it.

I don’t what kind of change you’re doing, but you probably should do it at the CMake level.

If you’re trying to get bitcode for the full MySQL program, I’d go with an LTO build. The input files to the linker will be bitcode, and the linker can dump the merged bitcode.
