Comment (by kgardas):

 Good! So this LLVM bug above shows only on PrimoptWrappers and I've been
 able to compile this file without -fllvm as Carter points out above. So
 here is bindist's HelloWorld running on AArch64/ARM64 platform:
 {{{
 root at localhost:~# ./HelloWorld
 Hello world!root at localhost:~# file HelloWorld
 HelloWorld: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
 linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 3.7.0,
 BuildID[sha1]=0x5301662c82ccd3fe7c3f1486ac10d0f13b2f54c9, not stripped
 root at localhost:~# uname -m
 aarch64
 root at localhost:~#
 }}}
