I have been trying in vain for almost two weeks now to generate a "l.bc" files based on my very own library for building a swc with Alchemy.
I have tried doing (in both alc-on / alc-off modes)
ar rc myOwnLibrary.a myOwnlibraryObj1.o myOwnlibraryObj2.o
But still no l.bc files are generated, instead only .a files are generated.
How do I get the proper l.bc files generated?
PS. I even followed examples in Adobe Alchemy: Compiling a C library to run in Flex/Flash.
You must have alc-on the entire time, when you're using gcc and when using ar. For example:
$ alc-on
$ which gcc
~/alchemy-darwin-v0.5a/achacks/gcc
$ which ar
~/alchemy-darwin-v0.5a/achacks/ar
$
$ ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 29 May 19 16:59 test1.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 29 May 19 16:59 test2.c
$
$ cat test1.c
int test1() {
return 0;
}
$
$ cat test2.c
int test2() {
return 0;
}
$
$ gcc -c test1.c
$ gcc -c test2.c
$ ls -l
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 29 May 19 16:59 test1.c
-rwxr-xr-x 1 532 May 19 17:17 test1.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 29 May 19 16:59 test2.c
-rwxr-xr-x 1 532 May 19 17:17 test2.o
$ ar rc libtest.a test1.o test2.o
$
$ ls -l

If this isn't working for you I think you might have a subtly corrupted alchemy installation. I suggest re-installing it.
