The meaning of the configure options: -DLLVM_ENABLE_FFI=ON Allows LLVM to use libffi. -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON This switch builds the libraries as static and links all of them into an unique shared one. This is the recommended way of building a shared library. -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON This switch enables linking the tools against the shared library instead of the static ones. It slightly reduces their size. -DLLVM_ENABLE_RTTI=ON This switch is used to build LLVM with run-time type information. This is required for some packages, for example Mesa (in BLFS). -DLLVM_BINUTILS_INCDIR=/usr/include This switch is used to tell the build system the location of binutils headers. This allows the building of LLVMgold.so, which is needed for building programs with clang and Link Time Optimization (LTO). -DLLVM_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS=OFF Disables generation build targets for the LLVM benchmarks. Benchmarking needs additional code that is not currently available. -DCLANG_DEFAULT_PIE_ON_LINUX=ON Makes the default when compiling programs. Together with the ASLR feature enabled in the kernel, this defeats some kind of attacks based on known memory layouts.
