1.2 is 1.1 ABI with the language spec reformatted. No new features has been added in between 1.1 and 1.2. So, you can say either one.
Or should we simply remove the ABI version completely? I have attached
such a patch
I would put the ABI version, since the Cilk users will ask for it.

Fine with me - but then it makes sense to put the latest version (ABI 1.2): Users not knowing Cilk well, then see that the latest is supported while knowledge users know that 1.2 is just a cleanup.

I have now committed the attached patches.
