=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<llvm-gcc> command is the LLVM C front end. It is a modified
-version of gcc that takes C programs and compiles them into LLVM
-bytecode or assembly language, depending upon the options.
+version of gcc that compiles C/ObjC programs into native objects, LLVM
+bytecode or LLVM assembly language, depending upon the options.
-Unless the B<-S> option is specified, B<llvm-gcc> will use the
-L<gccas|gccas> program to perform some optimizations and create an
-LLVM bytecode file. Unless the B<-c> option is specified, B<llvm-gcc>
-will also use the L<gccld|gccld> program to perform further
-optimizations and link the resulting bytecode file(s) with support
-libraries to create an executable program.
+By default, B<llvm-gcc> compiles to native objects just like GCC does. If the
+B<-emit-llvm> option is given then it will generate LLVM bytecode files instead.
+If B<-S> (assembly) is also given, then it will generate LLVM assembly.
Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, B<llvm-gcc> has many
of gcc's features and accepts most of gcc's options. It handles a
