This will result in the following Clang actions:

(1) clang -cc1 -triple spirv[32|64]-unknown-unknown test.cl -emit-llvm-bc -o test.bc (2) llvm-spirv test.bc -o test.spv Even if llvm-spirv is technically a separate binary, it's still tightly coupled to the clang version because the bitcode format changes over time; it would be a support nightmare if clang shipped by llvm.org passes bitcode to some binary which isn't shipped by llvm.org.

Are you concerned about the support burden for the LLVM maintainers or the llvm-spirv maintainers?
