+   It is possible to build TF-A using Clang or Arm Compiler 6. To do so
+   ``CC`` needs to point to the clang or armclang binary, which will
+   also select the clang or armclang assembler. Be aware that the
+   GNU linker is used by default.  In case of being needed the linker
+   can be overriden using the ``LD`` variable. Clang linker version 6 is
+   known to work with TF-A.

+   In both cases ``CROSS_COMPILE`` should be set as described above.
 
    Arm Compiler 6 will be selected when the base name of the path assigned
    to ``CC`` matches the string 'armclang'.
