 **CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING
   Sets the build type for ``make``-based generators. Possible values are
   Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. If you are using an IDE such as
   Visual Studio, you should use the IDE settings to set the build type.

+Frequently Used LLVM-related variables
+--------------------------------------
+
+The default configuration may not match your requirements. Here are
+LLVM variables that are frequently used to control that. The full
+description is in `LLVM-related variables`_ below.
+
+**LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS**:STRING
+  Control which projects are enabled. For example you may want to work on clang
+  or lldb by specifying ``-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;lldb"``.
 
 **LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX**:STRING
   Extra suffix to append to the directory where libraries are to be
   installed. On a 64-bit architecture, one could use ``-DLLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX=64``
   to install libraries to ``/usr/lib64``.
 
+**LLVM_PARALLEL_{COMPILE,LINK}_JOBS**:STRING
+  Building the llvm toolchain can use a lot of resources, particularly
+  linking. These options, when you use the Ninja generator, allow you
+  to restrict the parallelism. For example, to avoid OOMs or going
+  into swap, permit only one link job per 15GB of RAM available on a
+  32GB machine, specify ``-G Ninja -DLLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS=2``.
+
+**LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD**:STRING
+  Control which targets are enabled. For example you may only need to enable
+  your native target with, for example, ``-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=X86``.
+
+**LLVM_USE_LINKER**:STRING
+  Override the system's default linker. For instance use ``lld`` with
+  ``-DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld``.

 manual, or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``.
 
 **CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD**:STRING
   Sets the C++ standard to conform to when building LLVM.  Possible values are
   14, 17, 20.  LLVM Requires C++ 14 or higher.  This defaults to 14.
