Just FYI, we discovered that GNU binutils 2.17 has a nasty bug in the
linker that causes excessive link time when building llvm.  We switched
to using cvs binutils and our link times went from minutes to seconds.

I didn't see anything about this on the web pages.  It might be good
information to add to the Getting Started guide.
