In the summary, could you mention this addresses additional comments from D75425 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D75425>?
================
Comment at: llvm/docs/GettingStarted.rst:1108
* -DLLVM_USE_LINKER
- Setting this option to either gold or lld will significantly improve
- performance. In the case that you are compiling lld, you may wish to use the
- gold linker as a faster alternative.
+ Setting this option to lld will significantly improve performance. If you are
+ building LLVM for the first time and lld is not available to you as a binary
----------------
Could you clarify that it reduces linking time for the LLVM excecutables (and not e.g. performance of programs compiled with clang)
================
Comment at: llvm/docs/GettingStarted.rst:1156
+ generate the debug information in the form of a DWARF object file (with the
+ extension .dwo). This option is only available on Linux.
----------------
I am not sure this is Linux-only. It certainly requires DWARF debug information (.i.e no Windows PDB), but It will probably work on BSDs and maybe also using the target `x86_64-w64-mingw32`.
