 itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header
 files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into

           parallel build.  That's done by default in Ninja; for ``make``, use the option
           ``-j NNN``, where ``NNN`` is the number of parallel jobs to run.
           In most cases, you get the best performance if you specify the number of CPU threads you have.
           On some Unix systems, you can specify this with ``-j$(nproc)``.
