I got stuck there too trying to get it built from checkouts.

I see it's an LLVM project. I may be able to do something at work to get
it to use CMake and work inside of the LLVM build at least (assuming
upstream is amenable to that[1]) since we're looking at using OpenCL
stuff anyways and we're trying to make sure things work on more than the
2 or 3 machines that have successfully run things so far.

[1]It appears as if that should be the case, seeing as Peter
Collingbourne is one of the developers of the Ninja generator for
CMake[2] and also committed the current build system[3].
