link error when building

I installed LLVM 4.0.1 from source, and attempted to build llvmlite (from git). Looks like quite the linker incantation, I hope we can figure this one out.

$ python setup.py build

@punkdit Thanks very much. It works for me!

Latest llvmlite uses llvm8. This issue is obsoleted.
