The code in the Rust repo *is* the code for the snapshot compiler. Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, everyone has to download a binary version of the compiler in order to compile their own copy.
In the distant past, there existed an Ocaml compiler for Rust, which was how the process was originally bootstraped. However, the language has changed drastically since then, so it's no longer useful.
