This post is a spiritual successor to my "
www.cambus.net/building-llvm-on-openbsd-loongson/: Building LLVM on OpenBSD/loongson" article, in which I retraced my attempts to build LLVM 3.7.1 on *MIPS64* in a RAM constrained environment.

After reading the excellent "
www.npopov.com/2020/05/10/Make-LLVM-fast-again.html: Make LLVM fast again", I wanted to revisit the topic, and see how fast I could build a recent version of *LLVM* and *Clang* on modern x86 server hardware.

The system I'm using for this experiment is a CCX62 instance from Hetzner, which has *48 dedicated vCPUs* and *192 GB of RAM*. This is the fastest machine available in their cloud offering at the moment.

The system is running Fedora 34 with up-to-date packages and kernel.

The full result of _cat /proc/cpuinfo_ is available
