 2. Configure the build settings:
 
+   If you're unsure which build configurations to use and need a good default, you
+   can run the interactive `x.py setup` command. This will guide you through selecting
+   a config profile, setting up the LSP, configuring a Git hook, etc.
+
+   With `configure` script, you can handle multiple configurations in a single
+   command which is useful to create complex/advanced config files. For example:
+
    ```sh
-   ./configure
+   ./configure --build=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu \
+      --enable-full-tools \
+      --enable-profiler \
+      --enable-sanitizers \
+      --enable-compiler-docs \
+      --set target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.linker=clang \
+      --set target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.ar=/rustroot/bin/llvm-ar \
+      --set target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.ranlib=/rustroot/bin/llvm-ranlib \
+      --set llvm.link-shared=true \
