Comment (by anonymous):

 The issue here is that the compiler and std lib are out of synch with each
 other.  Testing the clang or std version doesn't help if the library was
 actually shipped for an older compiler version as is the case here.

 I repeat - what's wrong with using the supplied configure script to fix
 unsupported configurations like this?  See
