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.

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!

The version will initially remain the same so that no additional changes
to the packaging are required (i.e. this commit only includes the
required changes to build from the mono repository instead of individual
tarballs).
The purpose of this package is to continuously improve the LLVM
packaging in Nixpkgs without causing a lot of rebuilds and provide more
recent LLVM builds for users. For more details see:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114828
