 configurations for each stage. The next series of examples utilize CMake cache
 scripts to provide more complex options.
 
+By default, only a few CMake options will be passed between stages.
+The list, called _BOOTSTRAP_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH, is defined in clang/CMakeLists.txt.
+To force the passing of the variables between stages, use the -DCLANG_BOOTSTRAP_PASSTHROUGH
+CMake option, each variable separated by a ";". As example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
