llvm dev - Jul 2011 - [LLVMdev] "Can I use LLVM to convert C++ code to C code?"FAQ doesn't work

hi, I'm new to llvm and trying to convert some c files to bitcode and
convert them back to c code.
my command line is pretty simple and verymuch like commands in "Can I use
LLVM to convert C++ code to C code?"
dragonegg_disable_version_check=1 llvm-gcc -emit-llvm test.c -o test -c
llc -march=c test -o testout.c

so I meant to compile test.c, which can be compiled and run by normal gcc, to
bitcode, and use lcc -march=c to convert it back to c code.

but I recieve this:
llc: test:1:1: error: expected top-level entity
ELFX4(
             U0EMUMEUEMUUMEEMU=MEU

so please could someone tell me how can I get the correct result?
Thanks

dragonegg doesn't support -emit-llvm; try -flto.
