It took me a while to track this down and I figured I'd save someone else the
time. By default, CMake uses the 32-bit toolchain on Windows, even if
generating a 64-bit solution. Given the size of Clang's code base, this can
lead to quite a few link errors with the linker running out of memory. If you
pass -Thost=x64 when generating the Visual Studio solution, then the resulting
project files will use the 64-bit toolchain and the toolchain no longer runs
out of memory.
The same wording is being used in https://reviews.llvm.org/D33546 for LLVM's
side of things.
