+Cross Compiling
+---------------
 
-Omitting CROSS_COMPILE
+A single Clang compiler binary (and corresponding LLVM utilities) will
+typically contain all supported back ends, which can help simplify cross
+compiling especially when ``LLVM=1`` is used. If you use only LLVM tools,
+``CROSS_COMPILE`` or target-triple-prefixes become unnecessary. Example::
+
+	make LLVM=1 ARCH=arm64
+
+As an example of mixing LLVM and GNU utilities, for a target like ``ARCH=s390``
+which does not yet have ``ld.lld`` or ``llvm-objcopy`` support, you could
+invoke ``make`` via::
+
+	make LLVM=1 ARCH=s390 LD=s390x-linux-gnu-ld.bfd \
+	  OBJCOPY=s390x-linux-gnu-objcopy
+
+This example will invoke ``s390x-linux-gnu-ld.bfd`` as the linker and
+``s390x-linux-gnu-objcopy``, so ensure those are reachable in your ``$PATH``.
+
+``CROSS_COMPILE`` is not used to prefix the Clang compiler binary (or
+corresponding LLVM utilities) as is the case for GNU utilities when ``LLVM=1``
+is not set.
+
+The LLVM_IAS= argument
 ----------------------
 
-As explained above, ``CROSS_COMPILE`` is used to set ``--target=<triple>``.
+Clang can assemble assembler code. You can pass ``LLVM_IAS=0`` to disable this
+behavior and have Clang invoke the corresponding non-integrated assembler
+instead. Example::
+
+	make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=0
+
+``CROSS_COMPILE`` is necessary when cross compiling and ``LLVM_IAS=0``
+is used in order to set ``--prefix=`` for the compiler to find the
+corresponding non-integrated assembler (typically, you don't want to use the
+system assembler when targeting another architecture). Example::
 
-If ``CROSS_COMPILE`` is not specified, the ``--target=<triple>`` is inferred
-from ``ARCH``.
+	make LLVM=1 ARCH=arm LLVM_IAS=0 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
 
-That means if you use only LLVM tools, ``CROSS_COMPILE`` becomes unnecessary.
 
-For example, to cross-compile the arm64 kernel::
+Ccache

-	make ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1
+``ccache`` can be used with ``clang`` to improve subsequent builds, (though
+KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP_ should be set to a deterministic value between builds
+in order to avoid 100% cache misses, see Reproducible_builds_ for more info):
 
-If ``LLVM_IAS=0`` is specified, ``CROSS_COMPILE`` is also used to derive
-``--prefix=<path>`` to search for the GNU assembler and linker. ::
