   You probably have it the wrong way around. The way gcc and LLVM interact   
   is that llvm-gcc produces files that contain LLVM bitcode (the LLVM IR).   
   LLVM then reads the bitcode files and does optimization and code   
   generation. In other words, neither LLVM or gcc plugs into each other.
