[llvm-dev] Switching to Ninja

[Dmitry Mikushin via llvm-dev]

Ninja is really good, indeed. The only problem I've seen is that LLVM
linking step (made massively parallel by Ninja) renders the 8GB RAM system
unresponsive due to excessive swapping.

You can reconfigure CMake to use Ninja in an existing build folder, but it
will not use the binaries previously built with another tool. Moreover,
generated files may clash in an incompatible way, so it's rather better to
cleanup the old build.

Kind regards,
- Dmitry.
