It seems to.

On my experimental build last month with llvm-11-rc I had to build
rust with its shipped llvm.  Clearly I had already installed those
two programs, but looking at the log I see

[1656/1728] Linking CXX executable bin/llvm-objdump
 and
[1620/1728] Linking CXX executable bin/llvm-profdata

In my current build with system llvm neither of those is mentioend
in the log.

[blfs-dev] firefox (and js) -> rust -> llvm dependency

[Xi Ruoyao via blfs-dev]

I just drafted js78 page.  When it was built, the building system utilized some
LLVM tools (llvm-objdump and llvm-profdata).

Is a rustc built with shipped LLVM providing llvm-objdump and llvm-profdata,
which could be used during firefox or js build?  If not we should list LLVM as a
firefox/js hard dependency.
