I build clang from source on cygwin and use that. I like to track their
upstream closely since they quickly fix the bugs I report. My
user-config.jam has this:

  using clang : : /usr/local/bin/clang++ : <compileflags>-std=gnu++11 ;

Then I run bjam from bash. Works ok, but clang has a long-ish startup
time under cygwin. Several seconds per TU.

HTH,
