+Q: How to build an OpenMP offload capable compiler with an outdated host compiler?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Enabling the OpenMP runtime will perform a two-stage build for you.
+If your host compiler is different from your system-wide compiler, you may need
+to set the CMake variable `GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX` so clang will be able to find the
+correct GCC toolchain in the second stage of the build.
+
+For example, if your system-wide GCC installation is too old to build LLVM and
+you would like to use a newer GCC, set the CMake variable `GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX`
+to inform clang of the GCC installation you would like to use in the second stage.
