[llvm-dev] Convert commands in make to llmv commands for code analysis

This URL mentions using LLVM IR to perform code analysis.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9939794/how-to-use-llvm-to-generate-a-call-graph

But the first problem to solve is how to convert the commands used in
Makefiles to the corresponding LLVM commands.

https://pastebin.com/RcnA14Qa

The above URL shows the makefile screen output from the bash source
code. Where `gcc -c`, `gcc` (link with -L -l), `ar` are used.

Note that an archive (.a) file is created by combining many .o files
in bash source code make output.

However, LLVM does not have llvm-ld anymore. So there is no way to
create a library file.Mising the ability to create an archive file in
LLVM can cause trouble to mimic the compile flow using make.

Does anybody have any good solution to this problem?
