llvm dev - Oct 2007 - [LLVMdev] Q: missing -fPIC in llvmc?

Hello All,

On a Debian/AMD64 host I am surprised that there is apparently no way to 
generate position independent code in shared object (i.e. to output 
files which are easy dlopen-able without pain)?

I probably missed something obvious, but what?

I want to compile LLVM assembly source code -suitably generated- into 
.so as directly as possible...

Regards

Yes, but I want to compile LLVM assembly language (to PIC shared object 
file on AMD64/Linux/Debian), not C.

Is llvm-gcc still needed in that case?

You're missing the fact that llvmc is highly experimental, and is not 
really usable yet.  Please use llvm-gcc directly, thanks!
