OK, re-running configure gives me the following in config.log

configure:3508: WARNING: Unknown project (libcxx) won't be configured
automatically

which doesn't look very good. I pulled libcxx into projects.

OK, how do I build and configure it outside llvm? The project page
doesn't say much,
except for running builtit.

OK perfect.
