As the project appears to use autotools you can alter the installation destination with command line parameters to the configure program (e.g. --prefix=$HOME/clang). Running ./configure --help and reading the INSTALL text file will give you more details.

If not already installed, you also need to build LLVM, which is the parent project (Low Level Virtual Machine) as well. Installation instructions for both are available at the clang website.
