[llvm-dev] Can I build llvm with only a handful of source files compiled for debug?

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

Nothing supported, though might not be too hard to do by hand.

If you're having long link times, lots of disk usage, and slow gdb startup
time I'd recommend enabling split DWARF (LLVM_USE_SPLIT_DWARF=ON,
and CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_*=-Wl,-gdb-index in cmake) if you haven't
already.
