We can determine exactly how many builds you'd need by looking at the master snapshot file: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/snapshots....

According to this, there have been 290 snapshots in total. And keep in mind that you would also need to rebuild LLVM quite a few times as well during this process, as Rust has continually upgraded its custom LLVM fork over the years.
