================
Comment at: clang/www/get_started.html:72
     <li><tt>cd build</tt></li>
+    <li>This builds both LLVM and Clang for debug mode and takes a lot of time and space. Alternatively -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" can be use to make a release build.</li>
     <li><tt>cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang -G "Unix Makefiles" ../llvm</tt></li>

+1 to most of this, but I'd have the comment say something along the lines of "See https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html#frequently-used-cmake-variables for more options".
