There's really no reason why this shouldn't work (from the IDE) as
Clang/LLVM uses the vc-linker for linking (and the auto-linking pragma's
are in the headers). If you use lld as your linker (in case you would like
to use thin-lto), lld seems to find lots of stuff on its own (when given
the proper directories). Unfortunately, it does not seem possible to use
lld from the IDE, you'll have to use the command line. Also if you want to
use thin-lto, you'll have to build boost with clang (stack trace does not
compile), instrumented for thin-lto. The use of thin-lto (can) give some
really great (speed) improvements over the non-lto version (I've found
full-lto to be a pessimisation).
