+1

Same for OS X.

I work on linux most of the time and fully support upgrading cmake to
whatever version people writing our cmake files find useful. I have no
idea what cmake version the distribution I use ships, and I see no
point in looking that up. Building cmake is truly trivial. Anyone (or
any bot) that can build llvm can build cmake.
