llvm dev - Dec 2007 - [LLVMdev] Generating executable by llc.

is it possible in llvm infrastructure to integrate an actual linker with
llc?  rather than using the native linker.
Can it be done by adding a Module pass?
How difficult it would be to read-in and link the traditional COFF/ELF
object files with this integrated linker?
I am looking to do something like this:

a.c, b.c ----> llvm-gcc ---> a.bc, b.bc ---> llvm-link --->
combined.bc ,
native.o ------> llc + integrated linker  ---> final exeutable


TIA,
Sanjiv

Sanjiv,

You can use llvm-ld to link .o files together with .bc files to produce 
a native binary by passing it the -native flag. In you case, you would 
replace llc with llvm-ld.

John
