llvm dev - May 2012 - [LLVMdev] The 2 ways of building for Windows

>From what I've read, you can build/use LLVM+clang via Visual Studio or
via MinGW.  So far, I've only managed to have my code working via MinGW.
However, most of my users compile using Visual Studio.  Can LLVM that was
compiled using MinGW (or using the pre-built MinGW binary) be linked against
using Visual Studio (or, more specifically, using Visual Studio's
"cl" compiler and "link" linker)?

In my first attempt, I get an error message like:

libLLVMX86CodeGen.a(X86TargetMachine.o) : fatal error LNK1143: invalid or
corrupt file: no symbol for COMDAT section 0x6E

No. MinGW's g++ and Visual Studio's cl use different C++ ABIs.
