I’d replace home with build directory, I don’t think the home directory should really have much of an influence.

Also, this is not specific to Windows. ;)

Good to know. Where in the doc should it go?

Overal LGTM, but @addaleax's comment re note expanding should be considered.

@addaleax the reason why I put it in the Windows-specific section is because in #14337 the vcbuild.bat script tried to reference my home path here:

'C:\Users\Kyle\icupkg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.

I dropped the repo in my root directory, ran the .bat file, and it still attempted to execute icupkg in the same path. My home path was C:\Users\Kyle Lamse\ so it looks like it chopped off my last name.

Why not put it under ## Building Node.js on supported platforms, we want it to be visible for anyone going into that section.

While you're at it, could you wrap to 80 chars?

Nit: Get rid of NOTE: . Just say it: If the path to your build directory contains a space, the build will likely fail.

Just make sure it doesn't get sucked into the GfW bullet point. (maybe add a blank line)
