By reading the homepage I figured that llvm-gcc4 seemed
the best way to go.
I tried to follow the homepage and the instructions in README.LLVM
Sometimes confusing but in retrospect not that hard.
But I could not produce the .bc file with a simple program
no matter how hard I tried.
After some help from resistor in #llvm it became clear that I did not know
about -emit-llvm. Thank you resistor.
Before finding this out I created an install script to make sure I had made
every step, so I could ask the list if the steps were correct.
Now I have found my problem but maybe the script can be useful for someone
else, or even included in the documentation.
The script installs llvm in a given directory (default LLVM=/tmp/llvm)
using the latest cvs/svn sources.
It is a simple bash script so it should not be hard to follow.
*Please Note* that rm -rf $LLVM is used in the script. That is the reason I
use /tmp/llvm as default dir in the script I send to the list.
Please note that about 879 Mb of free space is needed to build llvm with
llvm-gcc4 frontend.
$ du -hs *
124M build
30M install
173M llvm
554M llvm-gcc4
20K test
The script have only been tested on a Debian sid machine using default gcc :
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060729 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-10)

BTW, I updated the example in the getting started guide to be accurate for llvm-gcc4 as well as llvm-gcc3. Thanks for pointing out the problem.
