+Unless the <tt>-S</tt> option is specified, <tt>llvmg++</tt> will use the
+<a href="gccas.html"><tt>gccas</tt></a> program to perform some optimizations
+and create an LLVM bytecode file. Unless the <tt>-c</tt> option is specified,
+<tt>llvmg++</tt> will also use the <a href="gccld.html"><tt>gccld</tt></a>
+program to perform further optimizations and link the resulting bytecode
+file(s) with support libraries to create an executable program.
