In general, this looks great overall! I added few comments on things that would be good to clarify.

+ -DClang_DIR=/path/to/llvm-build/lib/cmake/clang \
+ [<more cmake options>] /path/to/llvm-project/lldb
----------------
Is the casing of `Clang_DIR` important here? (In most cases, CMake defines are all upper case, but perhaps this one is special?) If the casing is important, I would suggest noting that here. If it's not important, it's probably simpler go all upper case to match other usages.

----------------
It's unclear from reading the paragraph if using these caches is recommended for most users. If it is, it would helpful to state that. In general, some kind of statement that answers "who should use this" would help.
