the defaults are ok-ish, but llc is never in PATH.
So most likely it won't work out of the box.
I think the cleanest option is too wait a little bit
until we finish clang integration.
(hopefully few more days)

we've quite been busy on llvm side
and I'm excited to announce that BPF backend finally
graduated from experimental.
So now anyone can just pull the latest llvm and
bpf will be present by default.
No more cmake -DLLVM_EXPERIMENTAL...

Once clang integration is complete. One can pull
upsteam llvm and clang and just use 'clang -O2 -c -march=bpf file.c'


Good news, so llc part should be removed.

Next version I'd like to use following config options:

[llvm]
clang-bpf-cmd-template = "$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS -c
$CLANG_SOURCE -emit-llvm -O2 -o - | /path/to/llc -march=bpf
-filetype=obj -o -"
clang-path = "/path/to/clang"
clang-opt = ""

yes. that's better.
