Bug#718000: llvm-dev: LLVM gold plugin has failed to create LTO module: Invalid bitcode signature

[Andreas Duering]

Hello,

thanks for your reply. I installed the clang-3.3 package and llvm-3.3-dev. I  
do not get the "cannot open shared object file" message as in the mentioned  
bug, but compiling a simple hello world program still failed with the  
"Invalid bitcode signature" error (see attached log file). However, I  
downloaded the source from llvm.org (Release 3.3) and compiled it myself, it  
worked fine with that version.

Regards,

Andreas Duering
