title: Is it possible to use LLVM-assembly directly?
body: <p>I have read some  webpages and articles about llvm and I am quite interested in this project. (Maybe to learn something about compiler writing without the need to struggle with the complicated points of x86).</p>
  
  <p>There are pages that describe how to write llvm assembly and how to assemble it, but I did not find anything on what kind of environment is needed to actually execute these. I know that I could run llvm-gcc on my files to get an object file that is executable in a C-context. But in the case that I don't want to use the C runtime environmen (<code>libc.so</code> and friends), what is needed to run llvm code? Is there any documentation on that?</p>
