configurations for each stage. The next series of examples utilize CMake cache

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
$ cmake -G Ninja -DCLANG_ENABLE_BOOTSTRAP=On -DCLANG_BOOTSTRAP_PASSTHROUGH="CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX;CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE" <path to source>
$ ninja stage2
The clang build system refers to builds as stages. A stage1 build is a standard

using the stage1 compiler. This nomenclature holds up to more stages too. In
