<p><b>Note:</b> The <i>gcc4</i> frontend's invocation is <b><i>considerably different</i></b>
from the previous <i>gcc3</i> frontend. In particular, the <i>gcc4</i> frontend <b><i>does not</i></b>
create bitcode by default: <i>gcc4</i> produces native code. As the example below illustrates,
the '--emit-llvm' flag is needed to produce LLVM bitcode output. For <i>makefiles</i> and
<i>configure</i> scripts, the CFLAGS variable needs '--emit-llvm' to produce bitcode
output.</p>
