Like Daniel, I'm not sure that "clang compiler is not delivered with a
C++11 standard library." is correct. Doesn't the way Clang gets
"delivered" depend on the platform and distribution involved? I've
only use Clang a few times, but IIRC all the distributions I've used
supplied a C++ standard library as part of the package.
