Hi,
is there an option to build LLVM's libs (and maybe clangs, but that's
for later 
as shared libraries? It's not --enable-shared If it
doesn't exist: is there any interest to have it? It would reduce my
build time considerably...
Cheers, Axel.

With cmake it is BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
http://www.llvm.org/docs/CMake.html
The doc says it is not recommended because it increases process startup
time, which is very noticeable if you run your compiler lots of times
(i.e. a test suite).

Great! So I must use CMake instead of configure / make to get shared libs?

I'm not, I'm *building* my compiler tons of times 
Thanks for your quick reply!

I don't know about configure/make. Cmake should work.

It takes 8 seconds to statically link a debug-mode JITter with all
optimization passes and bitwriter on a Linux 64bits 2.4 GHz Intel
Q6600. Generates a 114 MB file. If yours requires much more time, check
that you are using a recent version of binutils.
A release mode build links much faster.
Thanks for your quick reply!
You're welcome.
