  • llvm-link is a tool for linking (~ merging) LLVM IR files into another LLVM IR file.
  • llvm-ld tries to be compatible to ld. Note that LLVM currently has no real linking capabilities, so llvm-ld calls gcc to do the actual final stages.

Note that if you just want to have GCC's functionality, use the clang driver:

clang -c file.c -fpic
clang -shared file.o -o file.so

You can also pass the -Wl flags to clang as you'd do for gcc:

clang -shared file.o -Wl,-soname,libfile.so.8 -o file.so
