``-back-end llvm`` to the command line when building if you want LLVM. We
expect to make it the default in an upcoming release.

Note also that the binary releases do not assume that you have a
sufficiently new release of the LLVM Clang compiler, and are
configured to use the platform default C compiler instead. If you have
installed Clang 7.0 or later, you can edit
``share/opendylan/build-scripts/config.jam`` and set the CC variable
to point to your Clang executable:

.. code-block:: jam
CC ?= clang-7 ;
CCFLAGS ?= -w -g -O2 ;
C++ ?= clang++-7 ;
C++FLAGS ?= $(CCFLAGS) ;
