clang versions prior to the current development version of 13.0.0 cannot
compile s390 after commit 3abbdfde5a65 ("s390/bitops: use register pair
instead of register asm") and the s390 maintainers do not intend to work
around this in the kernel. Codify this in scripts/min-tool-version.sh
similar to arm64 with GCC 5.1.0 so that there are no reports of broken
builds.
[hca@linux.ibm.com: breaking compatibility with older clang compilers
is intended to finally make use of a feature which allows the
compiler to allocate even/odd register pairs. This is possible since
a very long time with gcc, but only since llvm-project commit
d058262b1471 ("[SystemZ] Support i128 inline asm operands.") with
clang. Using that feature allows to get rid of error prone register
asm statements, of which the above named kernel commit is only the
first of a larger not yet complete series.]

The kernel build uses various tools, many of which are provided by the
same software suite, for example, LLVM and Binutils.
When you raise the minimum version of Clang/LLVM, you need to update
clang_min_version in scripts/cc-version.sh and also lld_min_version in
scripts/ld-version.sh.
Kbuild can handle CC=clang and LD=ld.lld independently, but it does not
make much sense to maintain their versions separately.
Let's create a central place of minimum tool versions so you do not need
to touch multiple files. scripts/min-tool-version.sh prints the minimum
version of the given tool.
