llvm dev - Apr 2015 - [LLVMdev] Dynamic linking (dlopen/dlsym) against LLVM from a C program

I'm trying to write a .so which will be loaded using dlopen and called
using dlopen. The application is written in C and I want to use the
LLVM C API jfrom it. Obviously it will end up calling C++ functions
internally but as long as I expose a C API to the application I should
be ok.

I have a code that compiles fine but when I try to call it from the
application dlopen complains about missing C++ symbols. It seems for
some reason the LLVM shared libraries aren't being added to the ELF
NEEDED lines even though other shared libraries are. I switched
--as-needed to --no-as-needed but it hasn't helped.

The link line I'm using is:

clang -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels
-Wmissing-format-attribute -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing
-fwrapv -g -g -O0 -fpic -I/usr/lib/llvm-3.5/include  -DNDEBUG
-D_GNU_SOURCE -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS
-D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -g -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC
-Wno-ignored-attributes -shared -o pgjit.so pgjit.o
-L/usr/local/pgsql/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed
-Wl,-rpath,'/usr/local/pgsql/lib',-rpath,'/usr/lib/llvm-3.5/lib',--enable-new-dtags
-I/usr/lib/llvm-3.5/include  -DNDEBUG -D_GNU_SOURCE
-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS

-lLLVMAnalysis -lLLVMTarget -lLLVMExecutionEngine -lLLVMMC -lLLVMCore
-lLLVMSupport -lz -lpthread -lffi -ledit -ltinfo -ldl -lm   -lm

And the error I'm getting from dlopen is ERROR:  could not load
library "/home/stark/src/pgjit/pgjit.so":
/home/stark/src/pgjit/pgjit.so: undefined symbol:
_ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE

The NEEDED lines list all the non-llvm libraries but none of the llvm libraries:

Dynamic Section:
  NEEDED               libz.so.1
  NEEDED               libpthread.so.0
  NEEDED               libffi.so.6
  NEEDED               libedit.so.2
  NEEDED               libtinfo.so.5
  NEEDED               libdl.so.2
  NEEDED               libm.so.6
  NEEDED               libgcc_s.so.1
  NEEDED               libc.so.6
  RUNPATH              /usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/lib/llvm-3.5/lib

What am I doing wrong here?
