[llvmlinux] Generating linux kernel .bc files

Hi everyone,

I've been able to successfully compile the linux kernel with clang-3.5. In
order to run some analysis, I've been trying to generate the respective -bc
files. Reading older mailing archive, I've seen that it is not possible to
do that just adding the -emit-llvm -c to the compilation flags. Due to
this, I've written a wrapper code that invokes the original clang-3.5 and
later invokes clang-3.5 again with the emit-llvm -c flags for each file.
I'm calling make with the flags CC=clang-3.5 HOSTCC=clang-3.5, properly.

If my wrapper is called, I get an error, as if the command was generated
for compilation with gcc (a few unrecognized flags). If I rename the
wrapper to make sure that clang is called instead of it, the compilation
occurs perfectly.

I'm attacking a file with the output of a 'make CC=clang-3.5
HOSTCC=clang-3.5 V=1'.

Thanks a lot and any hint regarding this would be very useful.

João.
