Description
I'm trying to build rust with the Spack package manager, but it seems that Spack's recipe is out of date. It says that the minimum Cmake version required is 3.13.4, but then the build fails because actually version 3.20.0 is required. INSTALL.md says that it's 3.13.4, but the rustc-dev-guide says that the minimum version is 3.4.3.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required):
CMake 3.20.0 or higher is required. You are running version 3.16.3
I'm not very familiar with the rust bootstrap process. Spack downloads a rustc binary with a url similar to https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-1.65.0-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz, and then it runs x.py.
It seems that this Cmake requirement actually comes from LLVM. To fix the Spack recipe, I want to find out exactly which versions of rust require which versions of LLVM. I'm not sure when exactly LLVM is required at all, and I'm not sure if different LLVM versions are used depending on architecture/OS/ bootstrap toolchain. After quickly searching the source code, I wasn't able to find a very official looking definition of the LLVM version. I was able to find something in src/ci/docker/host-x86_64/dist-x86_64-linux/build-clang.sh, but just based on the file name I can't be so sure that the version number is used everywhere, or if it's even relevant to my Spack recipe.
Can someone point me to the location of the "canonical" LLVM version? From there I can use git blame to find which commit sets which version number, and github can tell me which release versions have which commits.
