The new LLVM commit is just before the LLVM 15 fork off.
The readme describing upgrade process so it is easier for others to do.

This is the supported way rocm is tested.
It makes packaging in nix a *lot* easier (see the code size).
An important change is the dontLink detection in the clang/clang++
wrapper script: When compiling with --cuda-device-only,
the linker must not be set, otherwise e.g. the blender kernels fail to
compile.
It is possible to both be bare metal and have a libc (newlib).
This libc doesn't provide very much --- not enough for CMake to think
the C toolchain works. We therefore adjust our logic so we hit the "bare
metal" case with or without libc.
The "use LLVM" bootstrap is intentionally not affected.
GCC 10 sets -fno-common by default. This broke some packages, so
when moving to GCC 10 we initially disabled this behavior. This
commit reverts that, bringing us closer to the standard and
upstream.

Reverts #162607 / 1748887ff2.
Reason for revert: This change caused llvm-config{,-native} to be unable
to find static archives bundled with LLVM, as has been [reported]. Ever
since #152944 using moveToOutput in LLVM is _evil_ because llvm-config
obtains it knowledge about the installation locations from the CMake
configure step.
Consequently a change like #162607 will need to be implemented by making
LLVM itself install the static archives to the correct location or by
adding yet another patch which updates llvm-config's knowledge of the
location. The latter is not desireable in my opinion, though, since it
is just asking for this sort of trouble: Before #152944 we had an
outputs.patch that did this sort of things which broke spectacularly in
edge cases.
Fixes#148117.

Fixes#166833.
The build creates a symlink for this assuming it's present,
so be sure it's there when filtering the source for clang.
Alternatively we could use LLVM_EXTERNAL_CLANG_TOOLS_EXTRA_SOURCE_DIR.
lld package provides an unwrapped lld. It doesn't always work on NixOS
(eg, it doesn't set rpath), and so dosen't always work.
What one should be using instead is the `lld` from
`llvmPackages.bintools` package. This super counterintutive.
One incremental step we can take here is to clarify that the `lld`
package is unrwapped -- right now, it looks like 100% legit thing one
should be using!
