[llvm-dev] Tablegen ridiculously slow when compiling for Debug

[Praveen Velliengiri via llvm-dev]

cmake *BUILD_SHARED_LIBS* option, it builds llvm as .so not as .a. It will
use less memory during linking so you can increase the link threads and
your build time will be lesser.
Check this in : https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html
