Gotcha, when adding the flags as follows: linkflags="-lc++ -ldc++abi" it works
correctly and I have every library build on my system.

Then I guess it has to do with my library path. I have clang installed from the
debian repository here:https://apt.llvm.org/

I have an user-config.jam in the root of my home directory and it is as follows:
import toolset : using ;
using clang : 16 : clang-16 ;

option jobs : 8 ;

Maybe that interferes somehow with the ability to link to the correct library?

I am not sure where to look further to have this resolved.
