B<llvmc> is a configurable driver for invoking other LLVM (and non-LLVM) tools
in order to compile, optimize and link software for multiple languages. For
those familiar with FSF's B<gcc> tool, it is very similar. B<llvmc> has the

=head1 DEFICIENCIES
B<llvmc> is considered an experimental LLVM tool because it has these
deficiencies:
=over
=item Insufficient support for native linking
Because B<llvm-ld> doesn't handle native linking, neither can B<llvmc>
=item Poor configuration support
The support for configuring new languages, etc. is weak. There are many
command line configurations that cannot be achieved with the current
support. Furthermore the grammar is cumbersome for configuration files.
Please see L<http://llvm.org/PR686> for further details.
=item Does not handle target specific configurations
This is one of the major deficiencies, also addressed in
L<http://llvm.org/PR686>
