[llvm-dev] Windows vs Mac/Linux distribution discrepancy

Hello,

I can only speak from my own experience - I was relying on llvm.org
binaries for our toolchain but that has many drawbacks, missing tools,
different configs, not all optimization turned on (LTO+PGO). So I would
highly recommend you build your own binaries that are more targeted for
what you really need.

It's a bit of a learning curve but it was very much worth it for us.

Thanks,
Tobias
